 Devil's Hole, where the earth opens to reveal a rare window into Death Valley's most implausible underworld, a universe of water. In twisted irony¹, the driest place in the hemisphere sits atop one of the largest aquifer² systems in the United States, spanning nearly 40,000 square miles. And here in Devil's Hole, plunging³ to unknown depths, geologists⁴ once explored the abyss 400 feet and found no sign of bottom. These divers⁵ are on a mission in this unlikeliest of desert habitats to save the unlikeliest of desert creatures, and the park's most precious treasure--the tiny Devil's Hole pupfish. Relics⁶ of the Ice Age, pupfish once swam at frigid⁷ nights, the feet of mastodons. Today, they dwell in this hotspring-fed pool where they thrive for thousands of years until now. With only about 200 left, the species is gravely endangered. Pup biologist Linda Manning and a team closely monitor the fish for clues to their decline.
