Rocks of MODR, Geological monument in Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine.
The iron schist rock formation extends across 62 hectares of land in the Inhulets Valley, displaying distinctive geological layers and mineral compositions.
The site received national protection status in October 1975, acknowledging the importance of preserving these two-billion-year-old geological formations for future generations.
The rocks derive their name from the former mining village MODR, which stands for International Organization for Assistance to Revolutionary Fighters.
Visitors can reach the geological monument through regular public transportation services from central Kryvyi Rih and explore the formations during daylight hours.
The rock formations contain mineral deposits that provide researchers with essential data about Earth's geological processes from two billion years ago.
