This {photograph} from northwestern New Mexico exhibits a ridge roughly 30 ft about 10 meters tall that shaped from lava filling an underground fracture then resisting erosion higher than the fabric round it did. The dike extends from a volcanic peak (out of view right here) referred to as Shiprock in English and Tsé Bit’a’í, which means “rock with wings,” within the Navajo language. It affords an Earth analog for some bigger hardened-lava partitions on Mars http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA21266 2017-01-25T18:51:03Z
