Richat Structure, satellite image
Richat Structure, satellite image. North is at top. Desert sands are pale yellow/white (top left and lower right), while less sandy, rocky areas are green, and volcanic rocks are blue. The Richat Structure is an eroded volcanic dome in the deserts of Mauritania. As the volcanic dome eroded, these onion-like layers of rock were exposed. The structure is 485 metres high, and nearly 50 kilometres across. It is in the Maur Adrar Desert, in the Western Sahara. The area shown in this image is around 66 kilometres wide. The image data includes infrared wavelengths, and was obtained on 11 January 2001, by the Landsat 7 satellite

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Richat Structure, a remarkable geological wonder located in the deserts of Mauritania. The satellite image reveals an aerial perspective with north at the top, allowing us to appreciate the vastness and intricate details of this natural formation. The contrasting colors paint a vivid picture: pale yellow/white desert sands dominate the top left and lower right corners, while lush green areas indicate less sandy rocky terrain. The striking blue hues represent volcanic rocks that add another layer of complexity to this eroded volcanic dome. Standing tall at 485 meters high and spanning nearly 50 kilometers across, the Richat Structure is truly awe-inspiring. As erosion took its course over time, it unveiled these fascinating onion-like layers of rock that now captivate our imagination. This particular image was captured on January 11th, 2001 by Landsat 7 satellite using infrared wavelengths. Situated within the Maur Adrar Desert in Western Sahara, this photograph showcases an area approximately 66 kilometers wide. It offers a glimpse into Africa's arid beauty and highlights how nature's forces shape our planet's landscapes. With its rich geological history and unique features, including dome mountains formed through volcanic activity, this image serves as a testament to Earth's diverse physical geography. Courtesy of Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any company), this stunning print invites us to marvel at our planet's wonders from space while appreciating the artistry created by millions of years' worth of weathering and erosion processes.
