 Badwater Basin is a salt flat located in Death Valley National Park, California. 

It is the lowest point in North America, at 282 feet below sea level. 

Badwater Basin is a popular tourist destination, and visitors can walk on the salt crust and take in the unique landscape.

Badwater Basin is formed by the accumulation of salt and other minerals that have been dissolved by water and then evaporated. 

The salt crust is often cracked and uneven, and visitors can see hexagonal patterns formed by the evaporation of water.
