Image: Oz1

This image of the McDonnell Ranges in central Australia reveals a complex geological history. Evident here are folded belts similar to those found in the Anti-Atlas mountains of Morocco, spectacular gorges such as the Finke River Gorge, formed by one of the oldest rivers in the world, and Gosses Bluff, a 142 million year old impact crater (compare to the younger and smaller Upheaval Dome in Utah).

The area covered by this image is approximately 83x104 miles. A full-resolution crop of the image file is available here that shows the detail present in the full image print.
