Trona Pinnacles is one of the most unusual geologic wonders in the California Desert. This unique landscape consists of more than 500 tufa pinnacles — some as tall as 140 feet — rising from the bed of the Searles Dry Lake basin. Michael Shainblum captured this dramatic photo of Trona Pinnacles at sunset, which is a popular time to visit the sight. When visiting this area, you will understand why more than 30 movies and commercials are filmed here every year. Ideally suited for science fiction backdrops Star Trek V, Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes and Battlestar Galactica were all shot here. Tweeted by the US Department of the Interior, 1/4/15.
