Ah Shi Sle Pah Alien Throne
Located in a region known as the New Mexico Badlands, it is difficult to believe that this now parched desert was a humid swamp only 75 million years ago. The structures seen across the landscape are examples of differential erosion: the stronger sandstone resists the erosion that acts on the softer surrounding rock to create spires and precariously balanced capstones. Another example of nature’s efforts in creating art by molding the earth into unique forms. The carved-out terrain along with the towering hoodoos gives the land an otherworldly quality.
