Ancient limestone towers emerge from Mono Lake, shaped by time and a unique geochemical process.
Towering limestone formations, Tufas, rise from Mono Lake, sculpted over thousands of years by a unique geochemical process. As calcium-rich geothermal springs mix with the lake’s alkaline waters, calcium carbonate accumulates, forming the porous structures known as tufas.
