Is this raised terrain, or a canyon? Hint: @GrandCanyonNPS might know the answer. Viewing angle and sun angle create some spectacular visual illusions.

Great info & images :) Tweet pinned twice (at your location at photo times) on interactive map isspix.com/ISS069. Blue-W pins have links to downloadable 400-mm hi-res & are located (in SE #Nevada & SW #Utah) a little northwest of @GrandCanyonNPS. CC: @SNALZ0 @_ThetaSigma_

I guess raised terrain, but where is it?

Yeah, rotate the images upside down and then immediately your eyes will be convinced it is a canyon. Pretty amazing.
