High Sierras Alpenglow on Mono Lake
The Sierra Nevada mountains at the entrance to Yosemite glow with morning alpenglow and reflect on Mono Lake.
The Mono Lake tufas form because of an underwater chemical reaction of calcium rich fresh water springs bubbling up in the carbonate loaded lake leaving a calcium carbonate salt deposit called tufa. In time these springs form the vertical towers we see today.
