The US has around 125,000 lakes in its lower 48 states alone, while Alaska blows that out of the water, claiming to have a whopping three million watery wonders. Join us for a virtual tour around America and feast your eyes on the country’s most stunning lakes.

Mono Lake, close to Yosemite National Park, is twice as salty as an ocean because it has no outlets. Covering 70 square miles (181sqkm), this so-called inland sea formed more than 760,000 years ago, yet its most striking features – the spindly limestone tufa towers – were exposed in the 1980s thanks to lowering water levels.

You could scroll through photos of this natural beauty for hours. The snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains are mirrored in the water on clear days and there’s wildlife aplenty. Waterfowl splash around and wild horses roam in nearby meadows.
