Many of the big saline lakes of the Americas are on the brink of collapse due to climate change and water diversions. Nestled at the eastern edge of the Sierra Nevada in California, Mono lake’s survival is a testament to the work of scientists, activists, and locals who have fought for decades to preserve it. Home to a unique ecosystem of brine shrimp, alkali flies, and migratory birds, punctuated by otherworldly tufa towers, Mono Lake’s desiccation would be detrimental to the wildlife and humans who call it home.
Untold Earth explores the seeming impossibilities behind our planet’s strangest, most unique natural wonders. From fragile, untouched ecosystems to familiar but unexplained occurrences in our own backyard, this series chases insight into natural phenomena through the voices that know them best.
Untold Earth is produced in partnership with Atlas Obscura and Nature.
