Three Sisters rock formation, Australia
Three Sisters rock formation at the Blue Mountains National Park, in New South Wales, Australia. Photographed from Echo Point overlooking the Gedumbah Valley. The Three Sisters are famous rock formations formed by water seeping into small cracks in the rock. The cracks grow larger over time to form large indentations. The Blue Mountains are made up of sandstone, which is easily eroded away by wind and rain

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Three Sisters rock formation in Australia's Blue Mountains National Park. Taken from Echo Point, overlooking the Gedumbah Valley, this image captures the essence of nature's artistry. The Three Sisters are renowned for their unique creation process, as water seeped into small cracks within the sandstone rocks and gradually eroded them over time. These indentations grew larger, resulting in these awe-inspiring formations that dominate the landscape. The Blue Mountains region is characterized by its mountainous terrain and rich geological history. Composed primarily of easily weathered sandstone, it has been shaped by wind and rain erosion throughout centuries. This photograph beautifully portrays the rocky cliffs and peaks surrounded by lush foliage, showcasing both the power of natural forces and delicate environmental balance. The trio of Meehni, Wimlah, and Gunnedoo – collectively known as the Three Sisters – stand proudly amidst this breathtaking scenery. Their presence adds a touch of mystique to an already stunning landform. As we gaze upon this scenic masterpiece captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Earth's remarkable beauty and its constant evolution through geological processes. This print serves as a reminder to appreciate our environment's wonders while also acknowledging our responsibility to protect it for future generations to enjoy.
