History

Why is Mono Lake water so salty? Mountains surround Mono Lake forming a closed hydrological basin--water flows into the lake, but it doesn't flow out. The only way for water to leave Mono Lake is through evaporation. Four vertical feet of water can evaporate off of Mono Lake during the course of a year, and without fresh water streams to replace the evaporated water there would be no lake. Freshwater streams and underwater springs have brought trace amounts of minerals into Mono over the eons. Because the lake has no outlet, it is naturally saline. An estimated 280 million tons of solids are dissolved within the lake, and it is 2-3 times saltier than the ocean depending on its water level fluctuation over the years. Periodic eruptions of volcanic ash have also added considerably to Mono's chemical mix.

By the time World War II ended, most American officials agreed that the best defense against the Soviet threat was a strategy called “containment.” In his famous “Long Telegram,” the diplomat George Kennan (1904-2005) explained the policy: The Soviet Union, he wrote, was “a political force committed fanatically to the belief that with the U.S. there can be no permanent modus vivendi [agreement between parties that disagree].” As a result, America’s only choice was the “long-term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies.” “It must be the policy of the United States,” he declared before Congress in 1947, “to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation…by outside pressures.” This way of thinking would shape American foreign policy for the next four decades.
