Mono Lake / California

Mono Lake is a large, shallow saline lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in a basin that has no outlet to the ocean. Because it lacks an outlet, dissolved salts make the lake very alkaline and saline. Millions of Alkali flies live along the shores of the lake and walk underwater encased in small air bubbles for grazing and to lay eggs.
