The Giant Eye Hidden in the Sahara!

It is called the Richat Structure and measures about 40 kilometres across. It looks almost as if a giant had drawn a huge target in the desert!

With its enormous circles of rock, this mysterious landscape puzzled scientists for many years. Some even thought it was a crater left by a meteorite.

But that’s not what happened! Scientists discovered that it is actually a giant rocky dome, slowly shaped by wind, water and erosion over millions of years.

Today, the Richat Structure is one of the most extraordinary natural sights on Earth.

Did you know? From the ground, it is difficult to recognise its giant eye shape. It is from above that this amazing natural wonder reveals its full beauty!
