Welcome to the lowest place in North America. The Badwater Basin, a small salt pool of water, is 232 feet below sea level and is surrounded by 60 square miles covered in natural salt pans. It was hot here in the spring, well past 90 degrees but that does not compare to the 130 degrees set last August the 17th.
This iso the actual salt pool that is 232 lower than sea level. As the name implies it is not safe to drink.
