Death Valley

#0yentrip [Badwater] The name "Death Valley" is said to come from the fact that in 1849, a group heading to a gold mine got lost here and several people lost their lives due to heat and lack of water. Death Valley National Park, the hottest and driest area of ​​the national parks in the United States, recorded the world's highest temperature of 56.7°C on July 10, 1913. The humidity is also extremely low, with an annual rainfall of less than 50mm, and there are rare years when the annual rainfall is 0mm. [Badwater] is located at the lowest point on the North American continent. You can have a unique experience at Badwater. It's hard to feel it just by standing there, but when you measure the altitude, you can feel it. When measured with a measuring device, you can see that you are at the lowest point in North America, 282 feet (-86 m) below sea level. These vast salt flats and salt polygons prove that this land was a salt lake in ancient times. Investigations have revealed that it was a salt lake more than 183 meters deep hundreds of thousands of years ago. In the 1800s, settlers who tried to cross this wasteland in search of a better life needed drinking water and searched for a pool of water, but were very disappointed to find that it was salt water. This is why this place came to be called Badwater. Death Valley holds the world's record for the highest temperature The "hottest place in the world" is Death Valley, and the record was recorded in Furnace Creek in Death Valley in 1913. This "56.7°C" was officially recognized as the highest temperature in the world by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and is the world's highest record that has not yet been broken. I went there at 11am and stayed there for an hour, but it felt like the temperature rose by 10 degrees🔥 They say that in such a harsh place, the Japanese of the past created the strongest troops and made the Japanese status known to America, so it's amazing JAPAN🇯🇵❤️🔥 I'd like to live in such an era and go on a rampage, even if it's just for a little while⚔️I'm sure I'd get beaten up easily🫠lol My heart is strong❤️🔥 #TravelDepot

This is Zabriskie Point in Death Valley, USA. It looks desolate, but it is where the Star Wars plane chase scene was filmed, and some people say it is a life-time travel destination because of its vastness. #SummerCapture #SafeTravel #MustSeeHistoricalPlaces #Outing
