Badwater Basin, located in Death Valley National Park in California, USA, is renowned as the lowest point in North America, sitting at 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level. This expansive salt flat is the result of the evaporation of ancient lakes, leaving behind a thick crust of salt and minerals. Despite its harsh and arid environment, the basin is home to unique forms of life and offers stunning, otherworldly landscapes that attract photographers and nature enthusiasts.
