Mono Lake 莫诺湖

An estimated 760,000 years old, this California landmark has, as a consequence of Los Angeles's water diversion efforts, become a stunning sightseeing location. While 100,000 people walk through the doors of the visitors' center annually, many more visit the lake. By 1982, the lake had lost 51 percent of the surface area it had before the diversions began in 1941, revealing once-submerged tufa (limestone), which now forms scenic, jutting towers across the water's surface.

这处加利福利亚景观是洛杉矶( Los Angeles's )引水分流作用的结果, 大约有760,000年的历史,是一处令人叹为观止的观光地点。在每年100,000人走过游客中心的大门时,有更多的人是在参观这片湖。自从1941年开始改道,一直到1982年,这片湖已经流失了51%的表面面积,露出了曾一度淹埋在水下的凝灰岩(石灰石),像塔一样耸立在水面,形成了一道独特的风景。由 Shutterstock拍摄。
