Inertia ( 神秘風動石 )

Moving Rocks of Racetrack Playa under the Milky Way. Death Valley National Park, CA.

This has to be one of the most mysterious places that I had visited thus far. Rocks here move by themselves and inscribe long tracks along this dried lake bed. While there were many theories and explanations being thrown around, this geological phenomenon was never explained until August of 2014 after scientists began using GPS-equipped rocks and time-lapse cameras to monitor the movements in 2011.

I drove over 2 hours off-road to reach here. While the ride was bumpy and not fun, the view that awaited me at the end of the trip was more than rewarding.
