这个公园值得一试(This park is worth its salt)
Badwater盆地的盐滩在沙漠的阳光下绵延数英里,在加利福尼亚州的死亡谷国家公园闪闪发光。这个闷热的地方是北美洲海拔最低的地方,低于海平面86米。在这片超凡脱俗的风景中,坚硬的矿物表面像镜子一样闪闪发光,灼热的热量在其上舞动,在空气中产生涟漪。由氯化钠、硼砂和其他矿物组成,这些平地脆弱的地壳掩盖了下面危险的泥层。对于那些冒险越过公寓登上山坡的人来说,《但丁的风景》展示了从近1676米的高度俯瞰巴德沃特盆地的全景。死亡谷国家公园拥有超现实的景观,提供了一种真正独特的体验,在那里,尽管条件最恶劣,但一种奇特的美景仍在蓬勃发展。

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 of North America, 86 metres 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 1676 metres. With its surreal landscapes, Death Valley National Park offers a truly unique experience where an odd beauty thrives despite the harshest of conditions.
