If you need proof that beauty can come from chaos, look no further than the Rainbow Mountains of Zhangye, China. When Insular India collided with the Eurasian tectonic plate 55 million years ago, the punishing force crumpled Earth's crust so drastically it formed not only the mighty Himalayas, but this watercolor landscape some 600 miles to the northeast. As tremendous tremors reconfigured vast swaths of flatland, once-smooth layer cakes of hardened silt and sand were thrust off kilter, creating the angular stripes we see today.
A strange set of stones
Fly me to…
22,349 feet high and rising
Twisting twin canyons
Stoic stones
Lazing in Lanzarote
Not so desolate after all
It's a tsingy thing
