The Giant That Guards The Badlands
The Giant That Guards The Badlands Some of the amazing natural oddities that we can see from the sky are even more spectacular than the ones we’ve made ourselves. This is an excellent example of Earth’s geology as sculptor… The Badlands Guardian (Atlas Obscura) “Located in southeastern Alberta, Canada, near Medicine Hat, this great geological wonder can only be seen from high above the ground.
