The Mind-Blowing Mount Roraima Mount Roraima is the highest of the Pakaraima mountain chain in South America and one of the world’s most extraordinary natural geological formations.

The tabletop mountains of the Pakaraima’s are considered some of the oldest geological formations on Earth, dating back to over two billion years ago.

From the archives: Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis - Blog - ABC Arts Posted: Olegas Truchanas and Peter Dombrovskis were two of Australia’s greatest wilderness photographers. Their work became synonymous with campaigns to protect Tasmania’s natural heritage. From the 1950s to the 1980s, Olegas and then Peter, used photography to try and encourage Australians to recognise the value of the natural world around them. Their philosophy was simple and remarkably effective - if people could see the beauty of Australia’s wild places then they might be moved to protect them. Olegas is renowned for his slide presentations which, over 20 years, brought ever-increasing attention to the island’s unique landscape. Ten years later, Peter’s magnificent photographs of the Franklin River were used to spearhead the successful national campaign to save it from a similar fate. Olegas and Peter shared many things, including a bond that was more like that of father and son. Related Links:Photo FinishIn Focus: Bob Brown on the politics of photography Lake Pedder Tasmania.
