Californias Death Valley - Outdoor Survival - A Documentary Film

Death Valley is a desert valley located in Eastern California's Mojave Desert, the most affordable, driest, and trendiest area in North America.
Death Valley's Badwater Basin is the point of the most affordable altitude in North America, at 282 feet (86 m) below water level. This point is 84.6 miles (136.2 km) east-southeast of Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m). Death Valley's Furnace Creek holds the record for the greatest accurately reported air temperature level worldwide, 134 ° F (56.7 ° C) on July 10, 1913.
Found near the perimeter of California and Nevada, in the Great Basin, eastern of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Death Valley constitutes much of Death Valley National Park and is the principal function of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve. It lies primarily in Inyo County, California. It ranges from north to south between the Amargosa Range on the east and the Panamint Range on the west; the Sylvania Mountains and the Owlshead Mountains develop its north and southerly boundaries, respectively. It has an area of regarding 3,000 sq mi (7,800 km2). The greatest point in Death Valley itself is Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range, which has an altitude of 11,043 feet (3,366 m).
The valley is bisected by an ideal lateral strike slip fault system, represented by the Death Valley Fault and the Furnace Creek Fault. Furnace Creek and the Amargosa River flow with the valley yet ultimately vanish into the sands of the valley floor.
Death Valley has a subtropical, warm desert environment, with long, very very hot summer seasons and short, warm and comfortable winters as well as little rains. As a general rule, lower altitudes tend to have higher temperature levels.
