Summary

Description	English: Natural-colour image of Wilpena Pound and its surroundings. Wilpena Pound and nearby mountains appear in shades of beige, brown, grey, and green. Although the area is semi-arid, trees grow naturally throughout much of Wilpena Pound. Areas of bare, pale soil appear as patches of tan in the middle of the pound. Wilpena Pound is roughly 17 by 8 kilometres, and the floor of the pound is 8 by 4 kilometres. The centre of this feature is the valley floor from a mountain range that long ago eroded away. While the relatively soft rocks in the centre of the pound succumbed to wind and rain, the surrounding walls are made of erosion-resistant quartzite.
