Death Valley National Park now offering a rare opportunity – kayaking
Feb. 19, 2024 - CNN
Because of excessive rainfall in California, a temporary lake is giving folks a rare chance to do some actual kayaking of all things in the driest place in the United States, the National Park Service said in a recent news release.
The aquatic adventure is taking place at Badwater Basin, which lies at the bottom of Death Valley National Park. It is the lowest elevation in North America at 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level.
Badwater Basin is normally a dry salt flat, the NPS said.
“You might think with no drain to the sea, that Death Valley would always have a lake,” said park ranger Abby Wines in the news release. “But this is an extremely rare event. Normally the amount of water flowing in is much less than the evaporation rate.”
Death Valley National Park averages about 2 inches of rain per year, the NPS said in the release. But the valley floor has gotten 4.9 inches in the past six months. The surrounding mountains have seen even more rain...

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
More than three kilometres above sea level, near the crest of the Andes mountain range, there is a salt flat bigger than many countries, an anomaly of the natural world. The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the largest salt flat in the world at over 10,000 square kilometres. The salt flat is the remains of an ancient lake that evaporated long ago leaving behind a thick mineral crust that is both a source of edible salt and a critical breeding ground for three species of South American flamingos, who arrive every November at the start of the rainy season to feed on abundant shrimp. But for a battery-hungry world, the greatest riches might lie below the crust – a vast brine rich in lithium. Bolivia is part of the Lithium Triangle of South America and is believed to possess about seven percent of the world’s supply of lithium, most of it in the brine solution that forms the bed of the Salar.
