Richat Structure, Mauritania

The Richat Structre is a very unusual circular geological formation, 30 miles in diameter, locatedĀ in the Sahara Desert in the country of Mauritania. Because of its circular structure with rings visible from space, it has been called the "Eye of the Earth", "Eye of Africa", and various other names. The cause and origin of this formation is a mystery.
