The Crystal Canyon is an unusual geological formation found on Aldebaran 2. Essentially, it is a gigantic geode, embedded in the ground, that is open on top, giving those who stand on the rim of the canyon a breathtaking view.
The composition of the crystals varies considerably along the canyon's length, giving them a wide variety of colors, and some parts of the canyon contain fluorescent minerals that glow at night.
The Crystal Canyon is also the home of a unique ecosystem with a number of species that only live there.
The Crystal Canyon is a site of considerable geological research efforts by the university, and also a tourist attraction.
