Uluru, Sacred inselberg in Northern Territory, Australia

The sandstone monolith rises 348 meters from surrounding plains with steep sides and reaches an elevation of 863 meters above sea level.

The formation dates back 550 million years to the Precambrian period, featuring sedimentary structures that indicate ancient river channels and flood deposits.

The Anangu Aboriginal people maintain strong connections to Uluru through ceremonies, art, and traditional practices passed down through countless generations.

The national park requires visitors to carry water supplies and sun protection, as temperatures in summer frequently exceed 40 degrees Celsius.

The arkose sandstone composition creates color transformations from brown to red throughout the day due to mineral oxidation and light reflection.
