21 Natural Rock Formations That Look Like They Belong on Another Planet
16. Valley of the Moon, Argentina
Ischigualasto Provincial Park—better known as Argentina’s Valley of the Moon—is a stark, color-drained desert that looks like it belongs to another star system. The terrain is sculpted into strange mesas, spherical boulders, and alien-like ridges. Dinosaur fossils lie embedded in its rock layers, adding prehistoric mystique to the ghostly landscape. The arid conditions and sculptural erosion patterns make it one of the most geologically diverse places on Earth. Walking through it feels like drifting across an interstellar badland—silent, surreal, and steeped in stories older than humanity itself.
