Standley Chasm, Natural gorge formation in Tjoritja National Park, Australia.
The 80-meter high narrow chasm features red quartzite walls that create a natural corridor through ancient rock formations.
The chasm formed over millions of years through water erosion processes in the MacDonnell Ranges, revealing geological layers from different periods.
The Western Arrernte people name this site Angkerle Atwatye and maintain it as a location for women's ceremonies and traditional practices.
Visitors can reach the chasm through a 20-minute walk along a maintained path from the parking area with a cafe and facilities.
The sun penetrates directly between the chasm walls at midday, creating red-orange color displays on the quartzite surfaces.
