Death Valley California Last Updated: 01/19/2025 |
Death Valley is a desert valley in Eastern California, in the northern Mojave Desert, bordering the Great Basin Desert. In this below-sea-level basin, steady drought and record summer heat make Death Valley a land of extremes. Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. Lush oases harbor tiny fish and refuge for wildlife and humans. | |
Despite its morbid name, a great diversity of life thrives in Death Valley. |
