Bet You Didn't Know This About Uluru
- 4 years ago
Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive, rust-red rock rising from the dry ground in the middle of Australia.
The Anangu tribe, an Aboriginal people of Australia, have considered it a sacred site for 10,000 years or more.
But it isn't actually a boulder. Standing at 1,141 feet tall, 2.2 miles long and 1.2 miles wide, most of Uluru is actually underground.
Uluru is an inselberg, a geological term that literally means an island mountain.
