Lower Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA

Lower Antelope Canyon is a beautiful natural tourist attraction located in Arizona. This canyon is also known as 'spiral rock arches'. The canyon is not just worth seeing but also great for a hike, but with its beautiful hues is also a photographer's dream come true. The lower canyon is shaped like a “V”. The canyon’s unique geography was created by water that rushed over its walls over many, many years. Antelope Canyon gets its name from native American stories regarding antelopes that grazed along the canyon in the wintertime.

Unpacking: Privilege

As I gazed upwards from the depths of the crevice, I finally saw in all its beauty what I had been dreaming to see; Lower Antelope Canyon, located in Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park near the Arizona-Utah border.

I reflected on the journey I undertook to witness this view firsthand; from navigating connecting flights and arranging reliable transportation to physically maneuvering through challenging and unforgiving terrain, ultimately descending a steep and seemingly endless set of stairs. Reflecting on the entire experience, I acknowledged that not everyone had the ability or resources to undertake such a venture. I realized that privilege was the sole factor that led me to experience and savor that moment, something I was fortunate and lucky enough to have been born with.

I define privilege as the unearned advantages associated with social identities such as gender, race, or socioeconomic status, to name a few. It isn’t dependent on one's efforts but rather determined by factors beyond their control. Peggy McIntosh described it best as an invisible package of unearned assets (Hooykaas, 2024). As I unpack my invisible backpack, I reflect on the fact that I am middle-class, educated, and English-speaking with a Canadian passport. These unearned characteristics facilitated me have access to opportunities that aren’t available to everyone. By being aware of our privileges, we can better recognize the disparities and inequalities in society. This awareness can foster a sense of responsibility, motivating us to contribute to the creation of a more inclusive and just environment by addressing barriers. Recognizing the presence and influence of privilege is equally important in the context of nature interpretation.

Privilege significantly influences our access and relationship with the natural world. Chapter seven of the textbook specifically outlines a wide array of cultural, communication and economic barriers that discouraged participation in interpretative programs by minority populations. Marginality theory suggests that differences in participation are linked to lower socioeconomic positions in society; lack of reliable transportation, entrance fees and suitable lodging are all examples which can deter individuals from participating in interpretive programs (Beck et al., 2019). Communication can be another barrier; materials and programs that are primarily available in English can dissuade minorities with limited language proficiency, creating a less inclusive and diverse audience, contributing to a decline in underrepresented groups (Beck et al., 2019). A lack of information sources in other languages can also foster general safety concerns and fears regarding getting lost in minorities (Beck et al., 2019). A lack of awareness about where to go, and how to prepare for a visit is another barrier to minority visitation (Beck et al., 2019). Being able-bodied is another privilege we normally take for granted when navigating trails and parks.

To cultivate an inclusive community within nature interpretation, interpreters must actively work towards dismantling barriers and establishing an environment that welcomes underrepresented communities. Access to the natural world is a fundamental privilege that should be accessible to everyone.

WOW! AWESOME! AMAZING!

The views in Lower Antelope Canyon change constantly as the sun moves across the sky, filtering lights softly across the stone walls. These ever-moving sun angles bounce light back and forth across the narrow canyon’s walls, creating a dazzling display of color, light, and shadow.

Earth from space: Blooming California Captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission on 8 April 2023, this image shows Los Angeles and part of the hinterland in Southern California. The sprawling metropolitan area of Los Angeles, the second most populated in the United States, can be seen in shades of gray in the lower part of the image. The city of San Bernardino lies around 100 km east of Los Angeles. Several water bodies can be identified in dark blue to the south of San Bernardino, except for Lake Elsinore which appears light green in the bottom right of the image, most likely due to a high concentration of algae in the water. At the northern city limits, the vegetated areas of the Angeles and San Bernardino National Forests are visible at the foothills of the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, which run across the center of the image. Mount San Antonio, the highest peak at 3068 m, as well as the surrounding peaks are covered with snow. The Mojave Desert dominates the upper part of the image. Center-pivot irrigation fields stand out as circular green shapes, which contrast with the surrounding landscape. Most of them are concentrated in the top left of the image, near the cities of Lancaster and Palmdale. After years of sustained drought, California has recently experienced record-breaking winter precipitation that triggered a flower "superbloom" event in the area. Blooming fields are so large that they can also be spotted from space. The vibrant orange and yellow colors of poppies and wildflowers in bloom can be seen throughout the image, with the most noticeable in Antelope Valley, west of Lancaster, and in Walker Canyon, north of Lake Elsinore.
