Shiprock

 

This is Shiprock. It is an inselberg that is 1,583 feet (482.5 meters) high. The structure is a volcanic neck, which means black dikes of igneous rocks and volcanic breccia make up its odd geological formation. The landmark also plays a vital role in Navajo Nation’s traditions and religion. Rock climbing is not allowed, but some people have still made the ascent.
