A Sailing Stone in Death Valley
This large rock is a 'sailing stone' on Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, California. The playa is an almost perfectly flat, dried lakebed. These stones move across the playa, leaving trails, a phenomenon that puzzled scientists for years until ice and wind were identified as the cause.
