I got a chance to fulfill a life long dream in a visit to Mono Lake in California recently with my pals from Aqua Survey. On the long drive through the desert we were "discussing" the definition of the word life, and in an area so desolate that we went a full hour on the road without seeing another vehicle, and no cel signal, we had to rely on our own brains instead of accessing the internet.
Fortunately for us the subject has gotten a new dash of spice in the discovery of a new breed of critters living in Mono Lake that are so different from anything else we have ever known that they have changed our definition of Life completely.
Here is an article, photos by my old tent mate from The NASA High Lakes Expedition, Henry Bortman.
