Goosenecks State Park, Utah, Image of the Day DVIDS860656, The sinuous black ribbon of the San Juan River cuts deep into the sandstone-pink landscape of southeastern Utah in this Ikonos image, taken on May 9, 2004. The image shows Goosenecks State Park, where the river is surrounded by canyon walls more than 1,000 feet high. Light gray, pink, and white striations (parallel lines) on the canyon walls mark where the river has eaten away at the ancient landscape to reveal 16 layers of geology, the oldest of which is well over 300 million years old.  The ancient San Juan River flows out of the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado. Early in its history, the river flowed over a flat landscape where swirling water wandered freely in ever-changing loops. Over time, the river wore away at the earth, cutting the deep canyons seen here, until its course was fixed into a groove. At the same time, the land of southern Utah and northern Arizona was being pushed up, making the groove even deeper. The result -- the chasms of Goosenecks State Park -- is one of the best examples of an entrenched river meander in the world.

ユタ州グースネック州立公園、DVIDS860656の日の写真、サンワン川の真ん中の黒いリボンは、2004年5月9日に撮影されたこのイコノス画像で、ユタ州南東部の砂岩-ピンクの風景の奥深くを切り刻まれている。画像はグースネック州立公園で、川は高さ1,000フィート以上の峡谷の壁に囲まれている。峡谷の壁には、灰色、ピンク、白色の線が点在しており、古代の風景で川が流れ落ちて16層の地層が見え、そのうち最も古いものは3億年以上前のものです。コロラド州南西部のサンワン山脈から古代のサンワン川が流れている。歴史の初期には、川は平坦な風景に流れ、水は絶え間ないループの中で自由にさまよう。時間が経つにつれて、川は地中で摩耗し、ここで見られる深い峡谷を削り、そのコースが溝に固定される。同時にユタ州南部とアリゾナ州北部の土地が押し上げられ、溝はさらに深くなっている。グースネック州立公園の惨状は、塹壕を掘った蛇行船の最良の例の1つである。NASA識別子: goosenecks_iko_2004129
