SAN DIEGO (KSWB/KUSI) — The driest place in North America had a lake big enough to kayak in this past winter, and NASA has released data on how big the rare lake actually got.
Late last year, a rare lake, dubbed Lake Manly, began forming in the Badwater Basin area of California’s Death Valley.
“You might think with no drain to the sea that Death Valley would always have a lake,” park ranger Abby Wines said in a February press release from the National Park Service. “But this is an extremely rare event. Normally, the amount of water flowing in is much less than the evaporation rate.”
