这里，此生值得一去 This park is worth its salt

死亡谷国家公园，加利福尼亚州

沙漠烈日下，恶水盆地的盐滩绵延数英里，在加利福尼亚死亡谷国家公园内熠熠生辉。这里是北美海拔最低的地方，海报高度为-282英尺。在这个仿佛异世界般的景色中，坚硬的矿物表面像镜子一样闪闪发光，炙热的高温在上面跳舞，空气中也掀起了涟漪。盐滩由氯化钠、硼砂和其他矿物质组成，脆弱的外壳下隐藏着一层危险的泥浆层。如果冒险越过盐滩，爬上山坡，站在海拔近5500英尺的丹特观景台上，便可以看到恶水盆地的全景景观。死亡谷国家公园以其超现实的景观，为游客提供了一种真正独特的体验。尽管条件最为恶劣，但仍有一种奇特的美在这里绽放。

Death Valley National Park, California

Stretching for miles below the desert sun, the salt flats of Badwater Basin shine in Death Valley National Park, California. This sweltering spot is the lowest point of elevation in North America, 282 feet below sea level. In this otherworldly landscape, the hardened mineral surface glistens like a mirror as the scorching heat dances upon it, creating rippling waves in the air. Composed of sodium chloride, borax, and other minerals, the flats' brittle crust conceals a treacherous mud layer beneath. For those who venture beyond the flats and up a mountainside, Dante's View reveals a panoramic view of Badwater Basin from a height of nearly 5,500 feet. With its surreal landscapes, Death Valley National Park serves up unique beauty in the harshest of conditions.
