Massive elephant-trunk filaments wind through the boundary in repeating arcs.
Elephant Valley sits along the main antenna of the Mandelbrot set, where enormous bulbous shapes cascade like a herd of mathematical elephants. The boundary here is thick with interleaved tendrils and miniature copies of the whole set, each iteration adding a new layer of impossible detail.

This location lies in the boundary region of the Mandelbrot set, defined by iterating starting from . A point belongs to the set if the orbit never exceeds .
At zoom , each screen pixel represents a region of the complex plane roughly wide — smaller than most atoms on a real object of the same size.
The iteration depth of 900 means the algorithm checks up to 900 times before declaring a point interior (black). Higher values reveal finer boundary detail but require more computation.
