Australia 🇦🇺, Uluru Rock

Uluru can be considered a geographical miracle only because of its size. The monolith of red sandstone protrudes above the plain by an average of 348 m, and its highest point is at 869 m above sea level. 

Uluru Rock is formed by almost vertical layers of extremely durable sandstone, the surface of which has turned red as a result of oxidation. From the north-western and north-eastern sides, erosion has cut deep channels in the rock, from where water gushes during rains - this is how spectacular, but short-lived waterfalls are obtained.

Most tourists try to climb to the top, although the locals would prefer that this not be done. Every year someone is sure to die, and others have to be saved. From the plateau at the top of the cliff there are wonderful views, it is interesting to explore the top, but the ascent is very difficult.
