Transcript: You Can Die Here

No place else in the western hemisphere is as hot, as dry -- or as hostile.

At face value, its sheer vastness can be intimidating. . .

And Death Valley has many faces.

Badlands brood over ancient lakebeds. . .

While fickle currents of sand shift along desert floor.

Craters blasted by molten rock plunge seven-hundred feet . . .

And parched Salt flats languish for forty miles.

Death Valley’s stark terrain may seem uninviting to some – and for good reason. . .

You can die here.
