The closed canyon features massive rock formations and rugged desert trails.
Yellowknife Bay was named for an area in the Canadian Arctic where Grotzinger worked as a young man, which has rock formations nearly four billion years old.
This literally circumscribed their every move. (Though Armstrong describes how he managed to veer a little off-script to shoot some photos of rock formations.) But it worked.
Beaches are not often associated with South Korea, but Busan delivers with a beautiful coastline of sparkling ocean, dramatic rock formations and golden beaches, despite the ubiquitous high rise developments.
Geological surveys show America has enough saline rock formations to store three trillion tons of carbon dioxide enough for the next 500 years at the country's current output from human activities.
The Network includes sites as diverse as Lagkawi Island, featuring the oldest rock formations in Malaysia, the petrified forest on Lesvos Island (Greece) and the volcanic craters of Vulkaneifel in Germany.
It's a guess based on how much is known, and likely new finds, and how much technology might improve over the next few decades at extracting oil from those hard-to-reach rock formations.
Monster drills would cut a hole a yard or so in diameter down 2.5 miles into the Earth's crust, past the deepest groundwater into granite rock formations that have sat undisturbed for billions of years.
This has driven down demand and pricing for pressure pumping services like fracking that are used to extract gas from shale rock formations, severely impacting margins of most large oil field firms including Baker Hughes.
In the spring, tourists come from all over the world to see the natural wonders: crystalline salt popping out of the ground, sand dunes surrounded by mountains, vibrantly colored, unearthly-looking rock formations and, if there's been enough rain, blooming wildflowers.
At the same time Yury Boiko, the Ukrainian energy minister, has high hopes that shale gas -- formed deep underground within large shale rock formations -- could also be a major alternative source of power in the decades to come.
Fracking is a vital contributor to the recent renaissance in the U.S. oil and natural gas supply picture, as it is the technology, along with horizontal drilling, that makes producing oil and natural gas from very tight shale rock formations possible.
Mining executives say that while they chuckle about the quirks of older geologists, they recognize the business value of their memory of previous exploratory work, their grasp of complex rock formations and their discipline in knowing how to meticulously chart new territory.

First off, the technology and innovation that enabled producers to frack better and squeeze more energy out of shale rock formations originated in the U.S. as geologists and engineers worked feverishly to produce more oil and gas in preparation for high gas prices.
He has rafted rivers in Yakutsk, dodged grizzly bears and black flies around Great Slave Lake (his record for fly bites is two hundred in a single night), and scouted rock formations on the Skeleton Coast, sometimes hiking more than twenty miles a day.
