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!
