  • Bryce Canyon National Park in Southern Utah is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by wind, water and ice erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The intricate hoodoos, eroded from soft limestone, glow with warm shades of red, orange, pink, yellow and cream with the right light. This was taken from Sunset Point.

  • Although the lava flowed some 3,000 to 4,000 years ago, the Berserkjahraun (Berserkers Lava Field), near Stykkishomur, Iceland is young enough to retain all kinds of convoluted shapes, with fascinating color and textural contrasts in the rock and thick mosses. The berserkers, from whom "gone berserk" originates, were a faction of Norse mercenaries known for their savage battle frenzy.

  • Known as Shiprock, this 1700-foot eroded volcanic plume is sacred to the Navajos as Tse Bi dahi, or the Rock with Wings.

Geologists tell us this mountain was formed by a volcanic vent 27 million years ago. Shiprock is the world's finest example of an exposed volcanic throat. It can be seen for 100 miles.
