"Unprecedented Lake Emerges in Death Valley Amid California Storms"

A temporary lake, named Lake Manly, has formed in Death Valley National Park due to record-breaking rainfall in California, with the basin transforming from a dry landscape to a shallow lake. The lake, which was about 1 foot deep in some areas as of Feb. 14, may last until the end of March, despite initial expectations that it would disappear quickly. The state is still recovering from severe weather that brought record-breaking rainfall and flooding, with all three of California's basins experiencing above-average precipitation levels in February.
