Devils Hole, Cave and lake system in Nye County, United States
Devils Hole contains a geothermal aquifer within a limestone cavern, maintaining water temperatures at 33 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The geological formation developed over millions of years through the dissolution of limestone rocks by underground water movement in the Amargosa Desert region.
Scientists and researchers frequent this location to study the relationships between groundwater systems and surface water bodies in desert environments.
Access to Devils Hole requires special permits and arrangements through Death Valley National Park due to its protected status and sensitive ecosystem.
The water-filled cavern houses the entire population of Devils Hole pupfish, which exists nowhere else on Earth.
