This lake vanished from Death Valley 10,000 years ago. It's started reappearing.
Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:
Lake Manly hasn’t been a permanent fixture in Death Valley since the Ice Age, but recently, it has reappeared.
Record rainfall at the California site has allowed enough water to collect in the ancient lakebed.
The lake sits in Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level.
A deluge of record rainfall has turned North America’s lowest point back into the lake it was during the Ice Age—even if just for a short moment in time. T
