Alien-Looking Landscapes You Can Actually Visit on Earth

16. The Wave, Arizona, USA – A Swirling Martian Desert

Hidden within the Vermilion Cliffs of Arizona, The Wave is a breathtaking rock formation that looks as though someone melted the desert into a swirling, rippling masterpiece. With its smooth, undulating sandstone layers in vibrant shades of red, orange, and pink, this area looks more like a painted Martian landscape than anything found on Earth. Due to its fragile nature, access is limited, making it a truly exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
