This Lake Was Not Here Before 1905 [Video]

How did this happen?  The Salton Sea is an unusual place in Southern California, somewhat inland.  And the strangest part is it was not a natural formation which we will get into on the next page.  The eco system is bizarre as well.  Not only is this the largest lake in California but has the second  most diverse bird population in the entire United States.  Whoa…and we hardly ever hear about this place.

Let’s check out this mysterious and awesome formation in the video on page 2
