🤩In the first photo, you see the Ulinyuanyang rock pillars in China, while the second photo features the Lena Pillars in Yakutia, Russia.

The Lena Pillars are a complex of vertically elongated rock formations that formed approximately 400 to 500 million years ago. It is believed that their unusual shapes resulted from erosion, wind and sharp temperature fluctuations. Over time, this caused the limestone plateau to break apart, creating fractures and large stone blocks. During the Lower Cambrian period, the area was covered by a small warm sea.

🤩 Stretching for about 40 kilometers, the Lena Pillars somewhat resemble a vast stone forest. The formations reach heights of approximately 100 to 200 meters. Composed of red sandstone and light gray limestone, these striking structures are a natural monument of immense beauty.

🤩 In 2012, the Lena Pillars were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognizing their global significance and unique natural beauty.
