What is Uluru?

Have you ever heard of a giant rock that is bigger than a skyscraper and acts like a desert iceberg? Welcome to the Outback of Australia, where the massive sandstone monolith called Uluru rises straight out of the flat red dirt! Standing taller than the Eiffel Tower, the wildest part is that most of this colossal rock is actually hiding out of sight, plunging 2.5 kilometers deep underground! Even crazier? Millions of years ago, this blistering hot desert was completely underwater at the bottom of an ancient ocean. But Uluru isn't just an awesome geological wonder. For over 30,000 years, it has been a deeply sacred place for the Anangu people, the traditional owners of the land. It’s a magical habitat filled with hidden waterfalls and amazing creatures like the spiky thorny devil lizard! Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the deep history of Australia's most famous natural landmark! You'll discover how tectonic plates flipped it completely sideways, why climbing the rock is now banned to show respect, and the amazing optical illusion that makes it glow fiery red at sunset!
