Posted in Pictures 23 Oct 2009 / 31270 views

I’m gonna quote Wikipedia, because I couldn’t do better myself, so here it goes:
The sailing stones (sliding rocks, moving rocks) are a geological phenomenon where rocks move in long tracks along a smooth valley floor without human or animal intervention. They have been recorded and studied in a number of places around Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, where the number and length of travel grooves are notable. The force behind their movement is not understood and is subject to research.
