Summary

Description
English: Shiprock — A calming early morning shot of Shiprock found on the Navajo Nation in San Juan County, NM. Shiprock is known by geologists as a volcanic plug. A volcanic plug is formed when magma within an active volcano hardens within a vent. The hardened magma tends to be more resistant to weathering and erosion. As time passes and the volcano becomes inactive and deeply eroded, the remaining hardened magma ​is left standing. This particular land feature stands 1,583 feet high!
