扎布里斯基角上空的银河，加利福尼亚州

扎布里斯基角的标志性景观是摄影师和游客一年四季蜂拥而至的原因之一。大自然在这些荒地上侵蚀了亿万年，形成了这片令人惊叹的条纹岩层。这几座山峰上的深色部分是由古代火山爆发的熔岩形成的。扎布里斯基角位于加利福尼亚州的死亡谷国家公园，是无数电影（如《斯巴达克斯》和《星球大战》）的取景地。爱尔兰摇滚乐队U2的音乐专辑《约书亚树》的封面也在这里取景。难怪死亡谷暗夜节在美国如此受欢迎。

Milky Way over Zabriskie Point, California

The iconic view from Zabriskie Point is one of the reasons why photographers and tourists flock to this spot all year round. Weather and water carved out these badlands for eons, resulting in this stunning striped rock formation with an array of colors. The darker material on several peaks was formed by lava of an ancient volcanic eruption, making some of these ridges higher than others. Nestled in Death Valley National Park, California, Zabriskie Point has been the backdrop of countless movies like 'Spartacus' and 'Stars Wars.' The scenic overlook is featured on the cover of Irish rock band U2's album, 'The Joshua Tree.' It's no wonder the Death Valley Dark Skies Festival is a hugely popular event. Zabriskie Point was named after Christian Zabriskie, a distinguished member of the Pacific Coast Borax Company from 1885 to 1933.
