Mammoth-Eastern Sierra

The Stand - Mono Lake, California. Mono Lake is one of the most ancient bodies of water in the world, dating back to the Pleistocene era. The tufa towers seen in this photo are relatively new, less than 500 years old, and are the result of calcium rich springs percolating up through the lakes carbonate rich waters, and combining to create these limestone towers, sometimes as much as 30 feet tall.

Black Point Fissures - Mono Lake, Eastern Sierra. What was once an ancient underwater volcano now lies high and dry on Mono Lakes north shore.

Belly Of The Beast
Belly Of The Beast - Black Point Fissures, Mono Lake. The Black Point Volcanic cone was formed under the waters of Mono Lake approximately 13,600 years ago. Back then in the Pleistocene, Mono Lake was going through a glacial period, and It has been theorized that while the lake was covered with ice, the ice cap itself contributed to the very rapid cooling of the ejected material which formed the fissures, and also created the very flat appearance of Black Point's volcanic cone. Now in our present day, Black Point is high and dry above the Mono Lake water line, and can be explored first hand with hiking boots rather than diving gear.

Slotted III - Black Point Fissures, Mono Lake. One of the outstanding features of the Black Point Volcano on the North Shore of Mono Lake is its fissures. The eruptive episode occurred during a glacial period when Mono Lake was much larger, and as a result Black Point volcano was formed under the lakes icy waters. The Rapid cooling of this erupted material created the fissures, and over time as the lake, and the world dried up....we are now able to explore today, this once underwater volcano, with hiking boots rather than scuba gear.
