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.
