Nuclear Landscapes: Site of Above-Ground Nuclear Tests
Caption:
This is the dry playa of Frenchman Lake in Yucca Flat seen from the top of "News Knob," the location of the press gallery during the above-ground testing days. Many of the scientific photographs of mushroom clouds were also taken from this point. Joshua trees once again pepper the desert floor (foreground).
