Natural wonder Antelope Canyon 🗿 Antelope Canyon is one of the world's famous slot canyons and a well-known photography spot, located in the northern part of Arizona, USA. The closest city is Page, and it belongs to the Navajo Native American Reservation. Antelope Canyon, USA Antelope Canyon is a complex of several independent canyons located in northern Arizona near the border of Utah. "Antelope" refers to the so-called "slot canyons" - narrow passages with strange geometric shapes caused by seasonal floods and underground processes. The changing lighting leads to constantly changing shapes and colors inside the canyon; it is one of the most frequently photographed places in the world. "The depth of Xia Lingyang reaches 37 meters (about twelve floors), with a length of 407 meters. The different color tones of the stones - red, orange, and purple - are explained by impurities of various iron oxides." The Navajo sandstone has a history of 174-191 million years, but the canyon itself was formed much later, just a few hundred years ago. There is no doubt that the process of "canyon formation" is still ongoing.
