Lake Manly, a lake in Death Valley that had dried up thousands of years ago, has reappeared due to record-setting rainfall in California. The lake's return is a rare natural phenomenon and a testament to the changing climate. Visitors are flocking to the park to see the lake. Scientists are studying the event to learn more about the dynamic ecosystems in the desert. The lake is expected to be temporary, drying up once the weather warms.
