We used to have pictured near La Paz in Baja, it was destroyed by dumb fuck tourists climbing over it, then apparently "restored" using cement, then attacked by dumb fucks again.

I don't know the current status but it's very sadly become something of a symbol of man's contempt for nature.

>The Singapore Stone is a fragment of a large sandstone slab which originally stood at the mouth of the Singapore River. The large slab, which is believed to date back to at least the 13th century and possibly as early as the 10th or 11th century, bore an undeciphered inscription. Recent theories suggest that the inscription is either in Old Javanese or in Sanskrit, which suggested a possibility that the island was an extension of the Majapahit civilisation in the past.
Bongs blew it up in 1843 and only fragments remain.

File: Alter_Schwede.jpg (1MB, 3846x2564px) Image search: [Google]

This is Alter Schwede, "Old Swede" (also an expression of astonishment in German), a 215 ton rock lifted from the Elbe in Hamburg during one of its shipping lane expansions in 1999.

It's called that because it consists of Väjxö granite and must've therefore travelled 600 kilometers from southern Sweden during the Ice Age. It's not particularly gigantic, but it's well known because its situated prominently on the bathing shores of the river in one of Germany's largest cities.

If we count rocks that are still connected to the ground, then this is the Sächsische Schweiz, "Saxonian Switzerland", a small but very unusual arrangement of sandstone formations washed out by the Elbe river on the border of Germany with Czechia. The bridge between the rocks in the background leads to a rock fortress, and the area is popular with hikers and rock climbers.

About 70% of the country is technically 'desert', though there's a good 35% which is so fucking inhospitable as to be completely barren of much of anything living.
But there's different types- sandy, stony and semi-arid types.

Technically some of them are worse than most of the gulf states or north africa as they might hit the high 40C's, our gets into the high 50C's and they're quite dangerous to have much to do with if you're not prepared for them or a bit of an idiot.

The upside is that while we're flat as a tack, have very few mountains and not a lot of rainfall as a result, is that the whole country and continental plate is very stable. No real major earthquakes to the point you have to worry about it and literally zero active volcanoes.
From a geological perspective (because rocks) its actually kind of interesting because you can look back further than anywhere else on the planet what the earth was like billions of years ago as the continent hasn't really wandered much.

Some day I'd like to see Norway and Finland, used to teach mountaineering in the army to poor fuckers about how to climb rocks and not freeze to death.
Down the south west of Tasmania was some of the most remote and brutal terrain in the country, you fall there and its least 3 hours by helicopter to get you out. Literally 200km either direction has no human habitation at all and I don't think even the abo's even colonised the region for any length of time.

There's stuff there so damn ancient it boggles the mind

>>78746319
>'remote and full of nature' like Death Valley
You have weird definitions. Death Valley isn't considered untouched nature; it's just a wasteland where nobody lives.
Colorado's Front Range is the population center of the Rockies, and it had a strong outdoors culture, so of course you'll see people there. Going 20 miles into Rocky Mountain NF isn't going "out in bumfuck nowhere Colorado."
