 | Mono Lake Canoe Tour A one-hour naturalist-guided canoe tour through Mono Lake, provided by the Mono Lake Commitee to bring awareness to the importance of protecting the lake as a vital water resource. Mono Lake is a high-desert lake and one of the most biologically productive lakes in North America. Bubbling springs, alkali flies, brine shrimp, underwater tufa towers, migrating birds are one of the many things to admire in this beautiful Sierra Nevada surroundings. Not mentioning how much fun it was to find myself floating in its amazing crystaline salty waters!

 | Amoeba gobbles algae cells in Mono Lake Sample taken from Mono Lake, California. Viewed with a Swift FM-31 Field Microscope and Nikon Coolpix 885 at 400X. Mono Lake is a soda lake [sometimes called an "alkali lake"] with a high salt content and a high pH. Such water is toxic to humans and most animals, yet a large population of microorganisms lives in Mono Lake. The algal cells are similar to Chlorella and coated the bottom of the shallows. Numbers of these Amoebae were found, busily munching the algal cells. |

 | The Lake Natron Expedition Presenting the first part of the slide show videos of my horseback trip to Lake Natron in Northern Tanzania. To see this and the remaining chapters in high resolution, please visit my website at http://mysite.verizon.net/jfuhring This expedition was over a region that is part of a great geologic feature called the African Rift Valley, an area of tall composite volcanoes (one of which, Mt. Ol Donyo Lengi, is perhaps the most unusual volcano in the world), cinder cones, explosion pits with tephra rings, hot springs charged with alkali, ash falls, thick basaltic lava flows, huge calderas, hyper saline lakes and outcroppings of very old Precambrian bed rock. The most extreme and beautiful example of a rift valley lake and the one that we came to see, is Lake Natron. |
