Devils Tower, USA
From series “The Most Mysterious Geological Formations on the Planet”
Wyoming, U.S., can boast a unique rock with scary name Devils Tower. It’s an outstanding landmark of world importance. The main distinguishing feature of the rock is its amazing correct form that seems even more incredible because of its impressive proportions. The cliff is 390 meters high. A long time it was considered a mystical and mysterious place.
Indians living in the nearby woods believed that a terrible deity, who can cause a storm, lives on top of a cliff. Modern scholars have found great explanation of this beautiful legend. The matter is that the rock is located in flat terrain, and during thunderstorms it’s very often stroked by lightning.
