Death Valley National Park, straddling California and Nevada, is the driest and hottest place in North America, attracting over one million visitors annually.
The Timbisha Shoshone Tribe has inhabited Death Valley for 1,000 years, living off pinyon pine nuts and mesquite beans long before it was known as Death Valley.
Despite its extremes, over 1,000 species of plants and 440 animal species thrive here, showcasing the surprising biodiversity of this harsh landscape.
The name Death Valley was assigned in 1849 after a group of pioneers got stranded here for 25 days, yet it underscores the valley's rich human history.
