I've heard about Vulcans in Star Trek, but I'm not sure what a Vulcan's forge is. Is it some kind of special equipment or technology they use? What does it do and how does it work?

Vulcan's Forge, also known as Vulcan's Anvil, is situated beneath the Toroweap Point. This geological feature is a volcanic neck that stands out prominently in the Grand Canyon landscape.

The volcanic neck forms part of a larger igneous dike and sill system in this region of the Grand Canyon. Igneous dikes and sills are intrusions of magma into existing rock formations, cooling and solidifying to form new rock.

The age of this igneous dike and sill system is believed to be Pleistocene. The Pleistocene epoch is a geological period that occurred from about 2.6 million years ago to around 11,700 years ago.
