Did you know that El Malpais National Monument in New Mexico is home to mesmerizing lava fields? The word "Malpais" translates to "badlands," and this unique landscape features expansive lava flows, cinder cones, and ancient volcanic caves, offering a glimpse into the Earth's geological history.

Here's an intriguing historical twist: Did you know that during the planning stages of the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, there were serious considerations to set up nuclear facilities in the El Malpais region? Ultimately, the project moved elsewhere, but it's fascinating to think about how this dramatic landscape almost played a role in one of the most significant scientific endeavors of the 20th century.
