The Australian Outback is dotted with ephemeral lakes, which fill during the monsoon season but remain dry for much of the year. Their unique patterns come from this transience. This is Lake Carnegie, but close by is also Lake Disappointment, believed to be named when an early explorer discovered it was a salt lake, not freshwater.
