The Richat Structure The Eye of the Earth
Located in Oudane, Mauritania, it is not really a structure but a huge circular formation (50 km in diameter – 30 miles). Noteworthy, it resembles an eye when looked upon from space. Originally thought to be a crater, this volcanic dome is most likely a product of erosion, an ancient geological artifact in the middle of featureless Maur Adrar desert, in Africa’s Western Sahara. The earliest space missions used it as a landmark. And the adventurous 4×4 enthusiasts consider it to be their playground, and scientists are still debating its origin. Spectacular formation remains a puzzle.
