扎布里斯基角的标志性景观是摄影师和游客常年涌向该景点的原因之一。天气和水在这些荒地上雕刻了无数年,形成了这一令人惊叹的条纹状岩石,颜色各异。几座山峰上较暗的物质是由古代火山喷发的熔岩形成的,使得其中一些山脊比其他山脊更高。扎布里斯基角位于加利福尼亚州死亡谷国家公园,曾是无数电影的背景,如《斯巴达克斯》和《星球大战》。爱尔兰摇滚乐队U2的音乐专辑《约书亚树》(The Joshua Tree)的封面上出现了风景优美的远眺。难怪死亡谷黑暗天空节在美国是一个非常受欢迎的活动。扎布里西角以1885年至1933年太平洋海岸硼砂公司的杰出成员克里斯蒂安·扎布里西命名。

The iconic view from Zabriskie Point is one of the reasons why photographers and tourists flock to this spot all year round. Weather and water carved out these badlands for eons resulting in this stunning striped rock formation with an array of colors. The darker material on several peaks was formed by lava of an ancient volcanic eruption, making some of these ridges higher than others. Nestled in Death Valley National Park, California, Zabriskie point has been the backdrop of countless movies like ‘Spartacus’ and ‘Stars Wars’. The scenic overlook is featured on the cover of Irish rock band U2's music album, ‘The Joshua Tree”. It is no wonder the Death Valley Dark Skies Festival is a hugely popular event in the US. Zabriskie Point was named after Christian Zabriskie, a distinguished member of the Pacific Coast Borax Company from 1885 to 1933.
