Geology of Canyonlands National Park
The contrasting names in the Needles country reflect the diversity of the land itself: Devils Kitchen and Angel Arch, Elephant Hill and Caterpillar Arch, Gothic Arch and Paul Bunyans Potty . The Needles is a startling landscape of sculptured rock spires, arches, canyons, grabens , and potholes. The dominant landforms are the Needles themselves rock pinnacles banded in red and white. Earth movements fractured the rock, and water, wind, and freezing and thawing eroded it into the jumbled terrain of today. Grassy meadows such as the 960-acre Chesler Park offer a striking contrast to the Needles' bare rock. And arches add a touch of the unusual to the region. Like Arches National Park to the northeast, the Needles country boasts a fascinating collection of natural rock spans. Angel Arch , located in a side canyon of Salt Creek Canyon, stands 150 feet high. The Wooden Shoe Arch , on the other hand, has just a small tunnel-like opening. Other arches are shaped like a caterpillar, ... [Read More]

EO Newsroom: New Images - Antarctic Megadunes
Researchers from the University of Colorado, University of New Hampshire, NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center, Dartmouth University, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography began field research in the megadune regions in November 2002. During the first field season, sastrugi caused recurring problems for the sleds and measurement equipment, which often got snagged by the weird snow formations. Says Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, “It was starting to feel like a nightmare trying to get back from the traverses—so much stuff was trailing off the back of the sled that it looked like a wedding car with cans tied to the back. But with a little duct tape and some alpine rope skills, we finally dragged it all back.” ... [Read More]
