Antelope Canyon: Whispers of Stone and Sky
by Jihyeok Park
This image captures the intricately sculpted Navajo Sandstone walls of Antelope Canyon, located near Page, Arizona. Formed primarily through flash flooding and aeolian erosion over millions of years, the canyon’s smooth, undulating surfaces exhibit stratified sedimentary layers shaped by persistent hydrological and wind-driven forces. The interplay of sunlight and mineral-rich rock produces a vivid spectrum of warm hues, offering a natural case study in geomorphology and sedimentary rock dynamics
