 Australia, Western Australia: Aerial 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: the western edge of the massif, before erosion causes the beehive humps to form. 
 Keywords: geology, rock formations, weather erosion
