The Racetrack Playa in Death Valley is home to one of the world’s most enduring geological mysteries: The Sailing Stones. For decades, these massive boulders seemed to move across the desert floor entirely on their own, leaving behind mysterious tracks in the sun-baked mud. In this long-form documentary, we explore the science that finally cracked the code. From the “windowpane ice” theory to the role of light winds and zero-friction surfaces, we uncover how nature’s most delicate elements can move stones weighing hundreds of pounds.
