21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mars on Earth

This is a photograph of one of the amazing places in the Altai Republic. "Mars". The sandstone slopes got their name from the multi-colored structure of the rocks and their unusual shapes. And clouds and fogs began to move beautifully across the mountains in the background.
