Photo by @Gerd Ludwig // Perhaps the most aptly named geographic landmark in the world, the Cherokee Indians called the Great Smoky Mountains “Place of Blue Smoke” due to its perennial blanket of smoky-blue mist. Today, the Great Smokies’ signature blue fog is being replaced by a toxic yellow haze produced by power plants, ozone pollution and automobile emissions carried by winds from distant cities. These air-born pollutants are not only degenerating the visibility of its impressive views, but damaging plants, degrading water and soil, and increasingly putting human health at risk. Even at the park’s highest elevations along Clingman’s Dome Road, some blossoms are still able to thrive among the dying trees, despite the foggy weather.
