Summary
This astronaut photograph highlights the mostly dry bed of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Owens_Lake" title="Category:Owens Lake">Owens Lake</a> and lower <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Owens_River" title="Category:Owens River">Owens River</a>, located in the southern <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Owens_Valley" title="Category:Owens Valley">Owens Valley</a> between the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Inyo_Mountains" title="Category:Inyo Mountains">Inyo Mountains</a> (upper left) and the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Eastern_Sierra" title="Category:Eastern Sierra">Eastern Sierra Nevada</a> (bottom).
- Shallow groundwater, springs, and seeps support minor <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wetlands" title="Category:Wetlands">wetlands</a> and a central brine pool. Two bright red areas along the margins of the brine pool indicate the presence of halophilic (salt-loving) organisms known as archaeans. Gray and white materials within the dry lake bed are exposed sediments and <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Salt" title="Salt">salt</a> crusts.
- The nearby towns of Olancha and Lone Pine are marked by the presence of green vegetation, indicating a more constant availability of water. The <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Alabama_Hills_(California)" title="Category:Alabama Hills (California)">Alabama Hills</a> are below Lone Pine (lower left).
