Badwater Basin
The pool is not the lowest point of the basin: the lowest point (which is only slightly lower) is several miles to the west and varies in position, depending on rainfall and evaporation patterns. The salt flats are hazardous to traverse (in many cases being only a thin white crust over mud), and so the sign marking the low point is at the pool instead. Despite Laguna del Carbón in Argentina having an elevation of −105 meters (−344 feet), Badwater Basin is often mistakenly described as the lowest elevation in the Western Hemisphere.
