Mono Lake, USA

Mono is a natural lake located in Mono County, California. It marks the beginning of a desert which starts as soon as one traverses the Yosemite Valley mountain range. This natural lake does not have any water outlets, which result in very high salt concentration. Mono became know for its iconic

Tufa Towers, limestone formations which naturally occur underwater. They were uncovered in 1941 when a serious water diversion took place at lake Mono. Now, these Mars-like structures are towering over a motionless body of water, providing a surreal natural spectacle.
