There may be no place more dangerous than Death Valley. Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America.
Death Valley isn't an easy place to live in. It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it's hot，too. In July，temperature often gets over 46℃. There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals（晶体），the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice. Then the strong wind—like a large hand—can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can"walk"on their own in Death Valley.
The weather condition in Death Valley is terrible，but there is still full of lives. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1mammal(哺乳动物)，6 kinds of fish，and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren't all small
Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives here. Some plants have roots that go fifty feet under the ground to find water.
Death Valley really makes a lot of surprise!
