Light beam in Upper Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone

Light beam in Upper Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding where during monsoon season, rainwater runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic flowing shapes in the rock

EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a world where Mother Nature herself wields her paintbrush with finesse, creating breathtaking masterpieces. Behold the captivating light beam in Upper Antelope Canyon, an enchanting result of Navajo Sandstone erosion. As if straight out of a fairytale, this mesmerizing phenomenon is born from the wild dance between flash floods and monsoon rains. Picture rainwater hurtling down from above, gaining momentum and snatching up grains of sand along its exhilarating journey through the extensive basin. Over countless years, these relentless forces have sculpted narrow passageways within the canyon's heart, transforming it into an ethereal sanctuary for adventurers and photographers alike. The once jagged edges have been smoothed away by time's gentle touch, giving birth to graceful curves that seem to flow effortlessly across every inch of rock. In this extraordinary snapshot captured by David Hosking from FLPA Images (not the company), witness nature at its most artistic. Marvel at how sunlight pierces through the narrow slot canyon sections like a celestial spotlight illuminating ancient secrets hidden within these hallowed walls. Join us on a visual voyage as we explore America's own natural wonderland – Arizona's Upper Antelope Canyon. Let your imagination run wild amidst corridors adorned with vibrant rocks that tell tales older than time itself.
