Where in the World: No.8
One of the most recognizable landmarks in the Southern hemisphere,
this sandstone formation puts on a spectacular color show from dawn to dusk.
Honored with two names, the formation is surrounded by springs, waterholes, caves and paintings.
Although it is is a trek to get to, locals and tourists would say it’s a must.
What is the name or names of this formation?
Note: Once someone has guessed the correct answer (here in a comment, or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram), I’ll post the answer in the comments below and add the correct location on the map. Good Luck!

Of course, it’s Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Australian Outback. It’s a lovely place to visit…barren but mesmerizing.

Yes, yes, this is Uluru/Ayers Rock in Australia. Apparently, it used to be just Ayers Rock. Then it became Ayers Rock/Uluru, and now officially the dual name has been switched to Uluru/Ayers Rock giving prominence to the traditional Aboriginal name!
