The tufa formations at Mono Lake.
About this place:
A massive saline lake in the sierras, Mono Lake has no outlet and is the natural collection point for all of the salts and minerals that wash down out of the mountains. This high mineral concentration has over the many years formed giant tufa, or calcium carbonate spires that jut up out of the lake like stalagmites.
