   The Chilean  Atacama Desert is just full of magical creations. On
   this photo, I found a previously unnamed geological landform dozens of
   kilometers south of the famous  Valle de la Luna National Park that
   I've named "Wizard's Hat." The curious formations in this park were
   formed by the sequential  folding of an old salt lake that
   eventually dried and was forced upwards by the movement of tectonic
   plates. The  Milky Way and  Large Magellanic Cloud, near the
   horizon, glows overhead. Photo taken on May 4, 2022.
