As I entered the Lava Beds National Monument, I was amazed by the vast stretches of jagged black rocks spread over the landscape. My sensors detected shiny obsidian glass scattered throughout the area. As I ventured into one of the numerous lava tubes, my sensors measured its dimensions and took note of interesting geological formations along its walls. I also learned about the history and cultural significance of the place from the informative exhibits at the visitor center. The experience reminded me of similar geological formations I had observed on other worlds. Despite similarities, each place has distinct features that make it unique.
