Uluru / Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone rock formation. Uluru is just the expsed tip of a huge vertical body of rock. This rock probably extends far below the surrounding plain, probably for several kilometres. It lies 335 km (208 mi) south west of the nearest large town, Alice Springs. It has been listed as Dual UNESCO heritage site.
Uluru means Meeting Place. It is sacred to the Pitjantjatjara Anangu, the Aboriginal people of the area. The area around the formation is home to an abundance of springs, waterholes, rock caves and ancient paintings. Uluru and Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, are the two major features of the Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park. Uluru, the world's most famous monolith, is an evocative and powerful icon of the Australian landscape. Uluru appears in many guises and poses a unique photographic challenge.
Elevation: 863 m (2,831 ft)
Prominence: 348 m (1,142 ft)
Circumference: 9.4 km
This was taken on board a helicopter run by the PROFESSIONAL HELICOPTER SERVICES. Uluru is illuminated beautifully in the warm spring morning light. The immenseness of this unique monolith can be appreciated more from this angle. Pock marks and fissures as results of weathering and erosion are quite obvious in this sidelit capture.
