When the Covid-19 pandemic began earlier this year, the Mono Lake Committee education team began producing Mono Lake Moments—short videos that bring the Mono Basin’s sights and sounds to you at home.
Scroll down to see videos from much of the year, and then check out the Mono Lake Moments tag to get caught up with the rest of the year’s Moments!
Nora, Rose, Santiago, and other staff have made more than 40 videos you can watch when you get homesick for Mono Lake, and we’ll be producing more throughout the fall and winter too. Keep an eye on our Videos page and our YouTube channel to see them premiere.
