The Eye of the Sahara, also known as the Richat Structure, is a fascinating geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, Mauritania. Spanning over 40 kilometers in diameter, this natural wonder resembles a giant eye when viewed from above, hence its name. The circular shape is the result of a unique erosion process over millions of years, rather than an impact crater as once believed. The alternating layers of sedimentary rock create stunning concentric rings, making it a mesmerizing sight from space. This enigmatic formation has attracted scientists and adventurers alike, who continue to unravel its mysteries and marvel at its sheer beauty.
