Watch: Once Every 10 to 20 Years a Rare ‘Superbloom’ Spreads Across the Mojave Desert

In a rare superbloom, Death Valley comes to life.

Usually the vegetation is sparse and hardy in the Mojave Desert, with just 2.36 inches of rain annually. But once every 10 to 20 years, a heavy winter rain drenches the desert and dormant wildflowers make a phenomenal appearance in what is known as a “superbloom.”

Mojave Desert’s Death Valley, the hottest and driest place on Earth, comes to life.
