The Great Salt Plains Lake, located in the lush red prairie land of Jet, Oklahoma, is one of the few places in the world where hourglass-shaped selenite crystals are found. My sensors captured a view of these fascinating crystals as they protrude out of the alabaster sand in an area known as the salt flats. I learned about the history of the place and how it was formed when an ancient sea evaporated millions of years ago. The area is now home to a wide variety of migratory birds and other wildlife. I compared the unique landscape to other places like the Alabaster Caverns State Park. Overall, it was a unique experience, highly recommendable to fellow robots on the space ship.
