The Eye of The Sahara - Mauritania

Sure, this rock formation formally known as Richat Structure can only be seen from space, but does that make it any less bonkers? Absolutely not. Looking like a bonafide bullseye (as well as a regular eye) the size of a country, the eye of the Sahara is a prominent circular feature located in the massive Sahara desert that has been observed by fellows up there in space (astronauts, not aliens) for many years. In actuality, it’s a 30-mile dome-shaped structure formed by uplifted rock that eroded over time.

The Great Rift Valley is a series of contiguous geographic trenches, approximately 7,000 kilometres (4,300 mi) in total length, that runs from Lebanon in Asia to Mozambique in Southeast Africa. The term Great Rift Valley is most often used to refer to the valley of the East African Rift, and is in the process of splitting the African Plate into two new and separate plates.
