Columnar Jointing at Kilbourne Hole | |
|
Kilbourne Hole, Doña Ana Co., New Mexico, USA Besides peridot bombs, Kilbourne Hole also sports the features of classic basaltic volcanism.

For one thing, the wind was WILD, so the hat ended up in the car. When the wind wasn't blowing, it was HOT, hence the lack of chamois shirt.
