The Inselbergs of Regina Reveal Colonial History In a small corner of Saskatchewan, Canada, lies an unusual geological formation known as the Inselbergs – a group of towering sandstone monoliths that have stood watch over the region for millennia.
At first glance, these rugged outcroppings may appear as nothing more than peculiar rock formations, but scratch beneath their weathered surfaces and you'll uncover a complex history of geological formation, colonial legacy, and indigenous significance.
Geological History: The Formation of the Inselbergs The Inselbergs' story begins approximately 290 million years ago during the Early Permian period, when the area that is now Regina was part of a vast sea.
