Fisheye view of tufa formations at Mono Lake, USA
Limestone tufas. Fisheye view of Mono Lake, California, USA, showing large tufa limestone formations. Tufas are columns or blocks of soft limestone, which here grow to a height of about 14 metres. They are formed by calcium carbonate being deposited from solution at a geothermal spring or by the evaporation of circulating water. Mono Lake is a salt lake which is slowly drying. Although it has no outflow, the water feeding the lake is being diverted at an increasing rate. This puts a great stress on the lakes wildlife, particularly migrating waterfowl

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Mono Lake in California, USA. Through a fisheye lens, we are granted a unique perspective on the remarkable tufa formations that grace its shores. Rising to an impressive height of approximately 14 meters, these columns and blocks of soft limestone create an otherworldly landscape. The formation of these tufas is a result of calcium carbonate being deposited from solution at geothermal springs or through the evaporation of circulating water. However, this magnificent salt lake faces a challenging fate as it slowly dries up. With no outflow and increasing diversion of its water supply, the delicate balance sustaining Mono Lake's wildlife is under immense stress. Migrating waterfowl find solace in this sanctuary during their journeys but are now confronted with dwindling resources due to human interference. The urgency to protect this fragile ecosystem has never been greater. As we gaze upon this image, let us be reminded not only of nature's astonishing artistry but also our responsibility to preserve it for generations to come. Science Photo Library brings us yet another stunning visual testament to the wonders that exist within our world - reminding us that every action counts when it comes to safeguarding our planet's precious natural treasures.
