Badwater Basin ©

An endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, California, noted as the lowest point in North America, (it covers nearly 200 square miles)

The vast salt flats of Badwater Basin change constantly. Salt crystals expand, pushing the crust of salt into rough, chaotic forms. Newly formed crystals ooze between mudcracks, sketching strange patterns on the surface of the salt flat.
