• Resumen

  • Ananthaswamy talks about the Rattlesnake Mountain. A thin crescent moon hangs over the ridge, while Venus shines through thin wisps of cirrus clouds. The Yakima people call Rattlesnake the land above the water, apparently because it once stood untouched while floods ravaged the plains below. Today the treeless ridge stands 1000 meters high overlooking a silent sagebrush-covered steppe in the east of Washington state. Fly over Rattlesnake today and two rather different, enigmatic features stand out: a pair of concrete pipes, kilometers long and meters in diameter, shooting off arrow-straight at right angles to one another on the stark plain below.
