 Ayers Rock, Australia

 

Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a large sandstone formation in the Northern Territory of Australia. The monolith - towering 1141 feet high with an expanse of 2.2 x 1.2 miles - is a sacred site to the Aboriginal people of the area who first settled there 10,000 years ago. While the first Australian tourists arrived at Uluru in 1936, annual visitor numbers rose to over 400,000 by the year 2000. Increased tourism at the site provides regional and national economic benefits, but also creates an ongoing challenge to balance conservation, cultural values, and visitor needs.

 National Parks, Amerika Serikat

 

When I think about the ideas of "independence" or "freedom" on the 4th of July, I can't help but remember a trip where I was lucky enough to explore the national parks of the American West. The longstanding commitment to protect the beauty of our county's finest landscapes is something that I deeply appreciate about the country where I live. My favorite destination on this trip was Crater Lake in Oregon. The lake's awe-inspiring, deep blue water sits in a crater that was formed 7,700 years ago by the collapse of a volcano. Rain and snowfall compensate for any evaporation as no rivers flow into or out of the crater. At 1,943 feet (592 m), the lake is the deepest in the United States. Happy Independence Day from Daily Overview!
