Spotted Lake located near Osoyoos, British Columbia has one of the highest mineral concentrations in the world. Appropriately named for its appearance, the unusual qualities of the lake are a result of massively high concentrations of salts, titanium, calcium, sulphates and other minerals that form “walkways” around pools.

Plastic Junk Helps Ocean Animals (Sometimes)
While the Pacific garbage patch is often characterized as a dense, Texas-sized island of plastic, in reality it’s an area of 2,736 square km scattered with tiny, floating bits of plastic. Popular conception holds that the worst effect of this junk is that it strangles animals, or accumulates in their stomachs, leading to slow, painful deaths either way.
In reality, it’s much harder to suss out plastic’s impact on oceanic organisms. Fish and birds do eat plastic, and in large quantities. Bottle shards and cigarette lighters were found in the bellies of dead albatross chicks. However, it may be that for most animals, nurdles more or less harmlessly pass through their digestive systems. Scientists just don’t know. On the flip side of the plastic coin are ocean-faring creatures that are clearly thriving thanks to this novel material.
The “plastisphere” is a group of organisms that previously relied on floating logs, passing whales, and other organic substrates, but are now hitching rides on durable petro-products like styrofoam. Sessile organisms such as barnacles, bivalves, anemones and bryozoans, as well as small crabs and water-skaters, are now finding a home where there was once only open water. While good news for the individual organisms, it’s bad news for efforts to stop invasive species. This new, uncontrollable and long-lasting transport system means that many more animals are able to complete trans-oceanic trips to new habitats. Will a Dasani bottle be the vehicle for the next zebra mussel?
Regardless of their current success, these “rafting” organisms may eventually loose out to even smaller interlopers. Debris in the oceans appears to be leveling off, possibly due to microbes that have evolved to devour petroleum-based trash. These bacteria could be truly eliminating plastic, or merely breaking it down into its component chemicals, many of them toxic, and recycling them through the ocean’s food web. This is a perpetual problem with next natural materials, so new that no one can predict how they’ll behave.

For over 13 years (and girlfriend and children), architect Mickey Muennig lived in the tiny Greenhouse—his 1976 take on the then-popular dome and his celestial artistic response. From the deck of the outdoor bath, you can see up the coast.
Inside the one-room house, the reclaimed-redwood platform bed hangs on slender steel rods fastened to the ceiling. The ceiling cap is a vent—the house’s thermostat.

”Bit of a crossbreed of an octopus, a garbage bag and a condom.”
Arend Hosman, 2012.
“Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Moss Landing, Calif., says that the mysterious creature is a Deepstaria enigmatica jellyfish, much to the chagrin of some Reddit users who thought it was a whale placenta.
This type of jellyfish is usually found in the south Atlantic Ocean, some 5,000 feet below. According to the Marine Species Identification Portal, the jellyfish has “oral arms […] terminating in curious hook-shaped organ[s].”Raoul Wissink
