PMR028K-23 Australia, Western Australia: view of the Purnululu National Park (Bungle Bungles) in the Kimberley, with banded rock humps created by erosion, only recently discovered by Europeans. The bands of colour are superficial, caused by different types of algae. Here: this rock formation ressembles an elephant when silhouetted (left). Keywords: geology, weather erosion, rock formations
