In the middle of Australia, in the endless wasteland, a huge rock stands silently between heaven and earth, appearing a little lonely, a little desolate, a little abrupt, this is the most magnificent rock in the world - Ayers Rock. Ayers Rock is 348 meters high, 3,000 meters long, and covers an area of about 9 square kilometers, which is enough to make it the largest single rock in the world, not to mention that 2/3 of the volume is buried deep underground. It has gone through hundreds of millions of years in this world, and the same hardness of sand and stone around it has long been weathered and disintegrated by the years, and only it, through the baptism of wind and rain, still stands majestically, calmly accepting the admiration and amazement from all over the world.
From a distance, Ayers Rock seemed to be as high as the sky, connecting heaven and earth, and the grandeur of the momentum had already taken the lead. Because it was once immersed in the sea, the surface of the rock was smooth and shiny, and there was not a trace of cracks and cracks, only countless grooves formed by long-term wind and rain, which were arranged very neatly. If you encounter a storm, you can see countless streams of water rushing down these trenches, and the water mist is filled with mist, like a thousand waterfalls rushing back to the sea, and its momentum is breathtaking.
A stone pillar about 200 meters long clings to the stone wall and extends all the way to the ground, figuratively known as the "kangaroo tail". The rocky mountain is steep on all sides and cannot be climbed, with only a narrow road with protective iron cables on the flanks, about 1.6 kilometers long, reaching the summit. This is also the path to the top of the rock discoverer, Gauss. When he was hungry and thirsty across the wasteland, he stumbled upon this towering boulder, almost thinking that it was an illusion in a difficult situation. Climbing up the path to the top of the rock, his feet blurred with blood and flesh, but he cheered heartily, because the rare beauty in front of him was enough to make him feel no regrets.
Gauss's exclamation also spoke to the hearts of tens of thousands of latecomers. Climb to the top of the rock and look out into the distance, the cattle and sheep in the distant wilderness are like ants, the trees are like grass, and only you are at the top of the high rock, listening to the wind hunting in your ears, quite a bit of the king's landing in the world, the mighty four wild formations. All the tiredness of the coming was swept away, and only an indescribable pleasure remained in my heart.
The surface of Ayers Rock is sleek, with only countless grooves formed by long-term wind and rain, arranged in great neat rows.
People who come to explore here can also enjoy a service in the local area, which is to take off by helicopter and overlook Ayers Rock from top to bottom, which is a more relaxed way to see the whole of Ayers Rock, which is of course more expensive. Some people say that in this way, Ayers Rock looks more like a giant elephant creeping quietly, with a cute attitude.
The Australian Aborigines regard this boulder as the sacred stone in their hearts, the soul of the locals, sacred and inviolable. The caves and vents under the boulders still retain the ancient paintings and rock carvings of the indigenous people, which contain descriptions of the things in life and the records of the activity meetings, with clear lines and vivid images, telling the fantastic legend of the indigenous people.
Location: Towering over the western part of Australia's Central Plain, 350 kilometres west of the city of Alice Springs, it is the largest monolithic rock in the world.
Climate characteristics: the climate is dry and hot, the temperature around Christmas can reach more than 38 °C, and the coldest in July, the lowest temperature is about -7 °C.
Area: Stone length of 3000 meters, east wide high, west low narrow, an area of about 9 square kilometers.
Reason for formation: Hundreds of millions of years ago, due to the movement of the Earth's crust, the Amadeus Basin, where the Ayers Rock is located, pushed upwards, forming large rocks. About 300 million years ago, another violent movement of the Earth's crust pushed the boulder out of the seabed and eventually exposed to humans.
