Yeah, I am across that article recently too. My list of dream vacations has grown a lot recently.

How cool. Especially those plants that sink their roots straight into the rocks. Very interesting.

Where's that place they filmed the alien planet in Galaxy Quest? It's pretty neato, but not as wild as those images. Kind of hard to believe they're real.

Amazing, the Dragon's Blood tree is one of the coolest looking plants I have ever seen. It looks like something out of Vvardenfell.

There is a cave here in New Mexico, Lechuguilla, and it has some amazing formations in it. It is also one of the deepest caves in North America.

Yeah it was. Al Hajarah, Yemen looks like something out of a fantasy book.

Goblin Valley State Park? (http://www.utah.com/stateparks/goblin_valley.htm) I've just added that to my list of places to go on my next motorcycle ride to Utah!

those trees a pretty wild, how awesome to have one of those in your yard?

I hope they keep the tourism business as low key as it is.

Why the hell haven't man destroyed all of that stuff yet. We are slacking off as far as I can tell.

That place looks just like my Home Planet in Spore.

That place looks like the fortress of solitude.


I guess not so surprisingly, I guess, it is the third hit on google images (http://images.google.com/images?q=fortress+of+solitude&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title).

A friend and I were just discussing how we haven't yet even fully understood or discovered what our planet has to offer so how could we possibly understand the universe and then this thread was up. Very awesome.
