Salt Desert

It would seem, from which can take the salt in the desert?
But the fact is that before this whole area was under water. Later formed in the west of the mountains closed the way to the Pacific Ocean, the water dried up, and the salt remains.



On the salt field are rare bushes




This place is called the Devil's Golf Course. Salt is crystallized in great friends, solid as a rock with razor-sharp edges


Salt Friends (boulders) are grown to enormous proportions




The edges are very sharp and hard. Even I did not break off their weight them tips




And this is another place. Salt stones are not as sharp and smaller size. Of course, in Death Valley are constantly amazed how diverse nature of the Earth




The lowest place on the American continent is also in Death Valley called Badwater. At one time there was a mission and when they saw the water, like water their horses, but they refused to drink salt water


The ground level is below sea level by 86 meters. Pay attention to the sign on the mountain. It indicates the level of the sea






We were here after a week of rain and everything was covered with water








In some places the salt formed in the half meter cell
