Late last year, a rare lake, dubbed Lake Manly, began forming in the Badwater Basin area of California’s Death Valley. Death Valley National Park, which normally averages about two inches of rain per year, received 4.9 inches between late 2023 and early 2024, with the surrounding mountains receiving greater amounts of rain.
