Antelope Canyon, Slot canyon in Page, United States

Red sandstone walls curve through narrow passageways, creating two sections known as Upper and Lower Antelope Canyon in northern Arizona.

The canyon formed over millions of years as water eroded the Navajo Sandstone, creating deep corridors through the rock formations.

The Navajo people named the Upper Canyon 'Tsé bighánílíní', meaning 'the place where water runs through rocks' in their native language.

Access to both sections requires guided tours led by authorized Navajo operators, with advance reservations recommended during peak seasons from March to October.

Light beams penetrate the canyon openings between March and October, creating bright shafts that illuminate the narrow pathways below.

Geological formations: canyons, caves, rock formations

This collection presents geological formations created through millions of years of natural processes. From the striped sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon in Arizona to the basaltic columns of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland and the calcium terraces of Pamukkale in Turkey, these sites demonstrate the work of wind, water, tectonic forces and volcanic activity. The collection includes diverse geological phenomena across all continents. The Tsingy de Bemaraha in Madagascar consists of sharp limestone pinnacles, while the Moeraki Boulders in New Zealand are large spherical concretions on the beach. The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia forms the world's largest salt flat, and Ha Long Bay in Vietnam displays thousands of karst islands rising from the sea. Many of these formations are accessible to visitors and offer insights into geological processes. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in China inspired landscapes in popular films, while the Grand Prismatic Spring in Wyoming derives its colors from thermophilic bacteria. From the Chocolate Hills in the Philippines to the volcanic Jeju Island in South Korea, this collection documents the diversity of Earth's history.
