 Erosion's force becomes clear in these limestone cliffs in Port Campbell National Park , Australia .
About five million years ago the area was a limestone plateau, but as sea levels rose the effects of surf and rain began to carve out these magnificent cliffs, along with stacks and arches.

 Towers of salt and a riverbed colored by crystallized salt create an otherworldly landscape in Ethiopia 's Danakil Desert .
Sitting more than 300 feet (90 meters) below sea level, with temperatures reaching 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49 degrees Celsius), local inhabitants prize the Danakil for one thing: its salt deposits. |
