Beautiful mountains in Alaska when I went in June 2023. It would be devastating to see this all destroyed with roads and mining. NO to the Ambler Road!!

[image description: set of ten nature photos.

1: Rolling green hills framed by scraggly conifers. Beyond them are steep, snowy mountains and a clear blue sky.

2: A broad waterfall between two sheer rock faces each topped with tall evergreens. A rainbow runs along the lower section of river.

3: A doe leads an older fawn over a small rock clearing surrounded by short, dense trees.

4: A closeup of sap running down thick, papery bark.

5: A bed of tall purple lupine flowers.

6: Two thick, gnarled, almost windswept-looking trees on a rocky slope with sparse scrub. One is dead and the other has sparse greenery, with a clear blue sky behind them.

7: Several white and pink flowers low to the ground with some grass poking up around them.

8: A shaded river seen beyond two tree trunks, one dead and one alive.

9: A short waterfall over rolling granite into a blue pool. The smooth granite banks are topped with scattered conifers.

10: The far bank of a river, with tall conifers and a few short deciduous trees reaching into a cloudy blue sky. End id]

3 million year old lake in California, full of life including brine shrimp and birds! 🦐🐦 Around 2 million birds migrate through this lake every year. The water from here is drained from the Great Basin and stays here at the lake. With the water having nowhere to go, it evaporates. The rocky structures pictured are a type of Limestone that is built from the calcium rich spring water, that flows through the bottom of the lake, forming a bond with the carbonates in the lake water. ⋆˙⟡
