The formation is the eroded remains of a volcanic tower known as a tuff cone. Tuff cones are formed when magma from an inland volcano reaches the sea, sputtering layer upon layer of basalt ash that eventually rises into this monument of nature.

Stanfield Rows of truffles are coated in chocolate at Switzerland's Teuscher Chocolate Company. Chocolate is made from the seeds of the cacao tree, which explorer Hernán Cortés brought back to Europe in 1528. Cortés was introduced to the intriguing plant after witnessing Moctezuma, the Aztec emperor, drinking cup after cup of a spicy brown liquid from golden goblets that were thrown away after just one use.

Near Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, 1986 Photograph by George F. Mobley Thousands of years of wind, water, and glacial erosion have carved out these eerie badlands 400 feet (122 meters) below prairie level in Alberta, Canada’s Horsethief Canyon. Legend has it that during the region’s ranching heyday, horses would sometimes disappear into the canyons and emerge later marked with different brands, hence the canyon’s curious name.

Geologists calculate that the park’s granite, into which the sculptures at nearby Mount Rushmore were carved, are about 1.7 billion years old, making it some of the oldest rock in North America.
