The California Lake Mono is an exclusive lake and
it is obliged of that fact to a human being and the civilization which attacks
to the nature. The beautiful Mono Lake is actually a salty and alkaline lake,
and there’re four to seven trillion brine shrimp living in the lake as well as
millions of alkali flies that live both in the water and along the shore.
Various limestone figures called tufa are shown from water. The Mono Lake is
located at a height of 1945 meters, and its area is about 150 square kilometers
and the average depth is 43 meters. There’re several lakes with the similar
parameters on the Earth. But exactly here the astonishing sculptures are shown
from water.
Every sculpture is a distinctive one, and they are walls of the ancient dead city or an army created from the dragon's teeth which stand here and protect the last borders. But the secret of the fantastic towers is more than banal. In the middle of XX century, to satisfy the needs in water of Los Angeles they had to take water from the local rivers. As a consequence, the lake's level affectedly fell by 15 meters uncovered the calciferous-tuff figures from water. The program devoted to the safety of the distinctive lake the Mono Lake Committee was created in 1978. However; in 1994, the California State Water Resources Control Board reached a conclusion which mandated that the lake had to rise to a level of 6,392 feet above sea level. Therefore; after this the lake's level started to rise and, perhaps, in future these idols will hide their secrets under the water column again. Source: Charismatic Planet
