Weather Station set up to monitor conditions at the Devil's Hole, home of the Devil's Hole Pupfish, one of the most critically endangered species of fish on the planet.
The Devil's Hole Pupfish, one of 5 existing species of pupfish, lives only in the Devil's Hole. At last count there were only about 65 fish living in the wild.
Understandably, the actual pool is off-limits to all but authorized rangers, researchers and geologists. There is a pool viewing area close by.
The station includes an Anemometer, Wind Direction Indicator, barometric pressure and relative humidity instrumentation.
