      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.
