Hoodoos, Bylot Island, Canada

This is amazing -- had to share it!  The pillars are called "hoodoos"  -- pinnacles of soft rock protected by a hood or a cap of something harder.  They are reasonably common in arid areas subjected to very intermittent heavy deluges -- but quite rare in more humid environments and in polar regions.  Bylot Island has a very arid high polar environment, and from the look of these rock faces there is not a lot of frost shattering going on -- but there is certainly something freakish in the local geology....
