Rabbitbush and volcanic lava at El Malpais…
El Malpais National Monument is located in New Mexico, in the Southwestern United States. The name El Malpais comes from the Spanish term Malpaís, meaning badlands, due to the extremely barren and dramatic volcanic field that covers much of the park's area.
This volcanic area is on the Trails of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways. There are many geologic features, including lava tubes and ice caves. There is also abundant wildlife to be encountered year round. Native Americans have used the area for centuries. It became a National Monument in 1987.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition.
