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.

It stands where sand was deposited during the rapid erosion of surrounding mountains around 600 million years ago.

Because the mountain ranges formed quickly and there was no plant life to slow erosion, materials were deposited quickly.

Then, the transformation began. Today, it's forbidden to climb Uluru. But you can climb it virtually on Google Earth!
