森林 湖 南达科他州 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Sylvan Lake, South Dakota, 1995Ancient granite outcrops reflect in the still water of Sylvan Lake in South Dakota's Custer State Park as a lone fisherman awaits a nibble. Geologists calculate that the park's granite, into which the sculptures at nearby Mount Rushmore were carved, are about 1.7 billion years old, making it some of the oldest rock in North America.
