For this week's travel journal, I chose the Badwater salt flats as my subject. Not only are the Badwater salt flats the lowest point in North America at 282 feet below sea level, but they are also home to a grueling 135-mile ultra marathon. The photo I chose shows the polygons formed in the salt-infested ground. This got me wondering about how the salt rises to form these polygons. I have seen photos of the desert where the ground breaks, so the shape of the polygons in Badwater seems somewhat normal. I am really curious as to how the salt forms around these cracks.
