'Sailing stones' of Death Valley seen in action for the first time
Rarely formed sheets of ice push rocks across a dry lake in Death Valley. View from the ‘source hill’ on the south shore of Racetrack Playa. View is looking north on December 20, 2013 at 3:15 pm. Steady, light wind, 4–5 m/s has blown water to the northeast exposing newly formed rock trails.
