The Most Surreal Desert Landscapes Around The World You Can Actually Visit

20. The Pinnacles Desert, Australia – Stone Forest in the Sand

The Pinnacles Desert, located in Western Australia’s Nambung National Park, is one of the most bizarre desert landscapes in the world. Thousands of limestone pillars rise from the golden sands, creating an eerie stone forest. Some formations reach up to 13 feet (4 meters) tall and look like ancient ruins or alien sculptures. Scientists are still debating how they formed, adding to the mystery of this place. At sunrise or sunset, the long shadows and golden light make it feel like you’re exploring another planet.
