CareyPhotography > Badwater Basin turned into a reflecting pool. This is usually nothing more than a brackish puddle; the normally less-than 2-inch annual rainfall is overwhelmed by a 150% evaporation rate.  The record-breaking rainfall of this season turned the puddle into a 5 mile long reflecting pool. Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level. On the cliffs to the right of what's shown in this photo is a marker high above showing actual sea level.
CareyPhotography > Devil's Golf Course - the terrain of an ancient lake bed that evaporated over 2000 years ago.  It crystals of almost pure table salt (95% NaCl). It is one of the largest salt pans in North America. Devil's Golf Course lies in a part of the valley that is several feet above the flood level. The pinnacles form when the salty water rises up from the mud floor. Capillary action draws the water upward, leaving a salty residue. Wind and rain work to erode and sculpt the salty spires.
