Drumheller Channels National Natural Landmark showcases the Drumheller Channels, which are the most significant example in the Columbia Plateau of basalt butte-and-basin Channeled Scablands. This National Natural Landmark is an extensively eroded landscape, located in south central Washington state characterized by hundreds of isolated, steep-sided hills (buttes) surrounded by a braided network of numerous channels, all but one of which are currently dry. It is a classic example of the tremendous erosive powers of extremely large floods such as those that reformed the Columbia Plateau volcanic terrain during the late Pleistocene glacial Missoula Floods.

  • Die Drumheller Channels National Natural Landmark bildet das Schaufenster zu den Drumheller Channels, dem markantesten Beispiel auf dem Columbia Plateau für die aus Basalt gebildete Turm-und-Becken-Landschaft der Channeled Scablands. Diese National Natural Landmark ist eine extrem erodierte Landschaft im Süden des zentralen Teils des US-Bundesstaates Washington, charakterisiert durch hunderte isolierter steil aufragender Hügel (sogenannter Härtlinge), die von einem verflochtenen Netzwerk zahlreicher Kanäle umgeben sind, die alle bis auf einen trockengefallen sind. Sie bildet das klassische Beispiel für die massiven erosiven Kräfte der gewaltigen Missoula-Fluten, die im Spät-Pleistozän die vulkanische Landschaft des Columbia Plateau umformten. (de)
