The mountain painted in natural rainbow stripes
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Mother Nature occasionally dabbles in psychedelic art, and the Peruvian Andes are her masterpiece. Striking layers of sedimentary minerals like iron, sulfur, and copper oxide have been exposed by melting glaciers, painting the entire mountain in vibrant stripes. To witness this colorful geology, you just have to hike to an altitude of seventeen thousand feet where the lack of oxygen might make you see colors anyway.
One discovery leads to another.
