The Grand Canyon -
How did the biggest canyon of the world come into existence?

The biggest canyon of the world was dug into the over 6561 feet(2000m) Colorado plateau.

The Grand Canyon, with a depth of 5905 feet(1800m), frames with its eroded strata series a unique terrestrial-historical amphitheater including breathtaking landscape. The biggest canyon of the world has a length of 290 miles(446km) and a breadth of 10 miles(16km).

Dr. Martin Ernst reports on his tour in a rubber dinghy on the Colorado river. Therefore he had a close and clear look at the sequences of strata.

Especial unique is the greatest worldwide view into the geological strata series including the upper Precambrian, the edge of the Paleozoic, which was accumulated here comprehensively. Outboard of the Grand Canyon there is the chance to have a look at the well-preserved strata series of Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Besides the demonstrative geology, you will be impressed by fascinating landscape.
