Description
Badwater Basin is a basin in Death Valley National Park, California, that is known as the lowest point in North America, with an elevation of 282 ft below sea level. The site consists of a small spring-fed pool of "bad water" next to the road in a sink; the accumulated salts of the surrounding basin make it undrinkable, thus giving it the name. Adjacent to the pool, 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.
