Alien landscapes of Bisti Badlands Bashny.Net

North-West American state of new Mexico is famous for its amazing location. Wasteland Bisti (Bisti Wilderness area) is ideal for shooting a fantastic landscape: it excites the imagination is simply inconceivable!





Martian landscapes of the wasteland Bisti required perennial erosion by wind and water. More than 70 million years ago this place was a river Delta. Over time the water began to recede, and the area with the once lush vegetation has become a wasteland of layers of Sandstone, siltstone, shale and coal.

Six thousand years ago under the influence of the waters of melted glaciers and air masses Badlands Bisti began to be transformed into clay hills, consisting of Sandstone, thin seams of coal, shale and the solidified sludge with different density and color. Under the influence of the environment, they turn into thousands of unusual sculptures of different shapes — from arches to alien "mushrooms".
