One of the side benefits of this job (apart from the piles of cash and the constant attention from the ladies) is that you get to learn about all kinds of interesting things.

…Craters of the Moon…
…and, of course, Grand Canyon.
And it was amazing. All of it. Here are some more photos, if you’re so inclined.
