A panorama of Zabriskie Point, an area in Death Valley National Park, California, noted for its beautiful erosional landscape. The area is described as a badland because of the difficulty of traversing it. The area is composed of sediment from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago, long before Death Valley existed. It is named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, the vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early twentieth century. Photo credit: Daniel Mayer/Andrew c |
