Badwater Basin
Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America, with a depth of 282 ft (86 m) below sea level.
At the edge of the basin, where water is not always present at the surface, repeated freeze–thaw and evaporation cycles gradually push the thin salt crust into hexagonal honeycomb shapes.
We are just back from Death Valley, will share more images in the coming days.
Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
