Sunrise on Uluru causes the terra-cotta-colored surface of this world-famous sandstone monolith to appear in flaming red light amid the outback scrublands of the Northern Territory in Australia. Also known as Ayers Rock, the massive landmark rises about 350 meters (1,148 feet) ) above ground and covers square kilometers ( square miles) in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. It is a sacred place for the area's indigenous aboriginal tribe, the Anangu, who named the ancient rock Uluru, meaning "Earth Mother."
