Dante's View, Mountain overlook in Death Valley National Park, US
The viewpoint stands 5,575 feet above Badwater Basin, offering expansive views of salt flats and the Panamint Range across Death Valley National Park.
In 1926, local resident Charles Brown identified this location to Nevada's governor as the most remarkable viewpoint throughout Death Valley's mountain ranges.
The viewpoint received its name from Dante Alighieri, the Italian poet who wrote about journeys through different levels in his work Divine Comedy.
Visitors can access the overlook via a 13-mile paved road from Highway 190, with a parking area and interpretive exhibits at the summit.
The location served as a filming site for Star Wars Episode IV, representing the fictional Mos Eisley spaceport when characters first look upon Tatooine.
