Over epochs, deposition and erosion have carved sharp spires and deep canyons out of this South Dakota landscape.
Using data acquired September 13, 2002, this 3-D visualization shows an old lahar (avalanche of volcanic mud) extending from Anyuyskiy Volcano in far eastern Russia.
Magma rising within this volcano (along the border between Chile and Argentina) led to explosions and a plume of volcanic gases.
