#glenncanyon

Horseshoe Bend is a horseshoe-shaped incised meander. This is the place where we can see the Colorado River make a U-Turn shape. The rock walls along Horseshoe Bend contain a variety of different minerals. Some of which includes platinum, hematite and garnet. The overlook of the Horseshoe Bend is about 4,200 feet above sea level, and the Colorado River is about 3,200 feet above sea level, which makes it a 1,000-foot drop. . . . . . #horseshoebend #glenncanyon #overlook #coloradoriver #arizonacanyons #grandcanyonnationalpark (at Horseshoe Bend Canyon, Arizona, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZt0OLElLfB/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am currently one of five anthropology majors interning with the anthropology lab at the Natural History Museum of Utah. Each of us has different jobs and I am currently working on scanning photos and digitizing documents. Today I got to photocopy some incredible photos of excavation sites in Glen Canyon as well as scan maps from other excavation sites. Be sure to add me on Snapchat @club_masters and follow me on social media so that you can see the posts from my internship! I'll be posting mainly on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. #naturalhistorymuseumofutah #NHMU #Anthropology #UniversityofUtah #internshipdiaries #blackandwhite #excavation #glenncanyon (at Natural History Museum of Utah)
