Racetrack at Death Valley


Here's an example of the kind of strange and mysterious phenomena that keeps life interesting! My friends Lance and Stephanie just went on a giant we-both-just-got-laid-off roadtrip (good for them!) and one of their stops was Death Valley. Stephanie sent me this bizarre photo she took (excellent work--maybe she should think of going into nature photography!) of a rock and the trail it left behind as it moved, unseen, across the playa! I had to google, and found an informative explanation for this in the YouTube link below--even with science at play, it still seems magical!
