Zabriskie Point Death Valley National Park

Zabriskie Point is located in Death Valley National Park, California USA. It is beautiful erosional landscape, called a badlands due to its difficult-to-traverse topography.

The area is composed of sediment from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried-up 5 million years ago - long before Death Valley existed. The landscape is in danger of being eroded away due to a nearby diversion of a water channel. It is named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie of Wyoming Territory, the vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in early twentieth century.
