Well, that's what we're calling it, anyway, because some mustangs were hanging around. Apparently, however, it's officially unnamed. Anyway, this is another small closed basin in the Virginia Range, Nevada, that is holding an extraordinary amount of water this year due to the heavy rain and snow last season. It was completely dry in June 2009 (left inset) and May 2012 (middle inset), but contained a little water in February 2011 (right inset).
