  • Tufa towers in Mono Lake. Mono Lake lies near the town of Lee Vining. It is at least 700,000 years old and one of the oldest continuously existing lakes on the continent. Tufa towers (photographed) are made from calcium and carbonate combine to form limestone, which builds up over time around the lake bottom spring openings. Declining lake levels have exposed the tufa towers we see today. Some of the tufa towers are up to 30 feet high. Route 395: Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California.

  • Biosphere 2 Project Insectarium seen at dusk. The Biosphere was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson, Arizona, and was entirely self-contained. The eight 'Biospherian's' shared their air- and water- tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life over their two-year stay in the building, producing all of their own food and supporting the whole environment in five 'biomes'; agricultural, rain forest, savannah, ocean and marsh.  1989
