In satellite photo images of New Mexico, lava flows blanketing much of El Malpais National Monument looks like a huge lake southwest of Grants. The imagery betrays only dominant landscape features-lava flows, mountain ranges, mesas, that in reality mask a myriad of mysteries and wonders. El Malpais means the "Badlands" in Spanish. It is a rugged land, full of special and enchanting beauty. Paradoxically,the malpais landscape is at once primal, pristine, ancient, and surprisingly modern. New Mexico is truly the land of enchantment!
