Sacred Monolith and Endemic Life in Australia’s Outback

Kata Tjuta, Alice Springs, Australia

The outback of Australia accounts for 80 percent of this country-continent’s land. No wonder there are twice as many kangaroos as people! But those who inhabit this rusty, dusty land make the best of it. And the wildlife will blow you away. (FYI, #koalas are not bears.)

Denmark is about 50 times smaller than Greenland with only 2 percent of its land space (43,000 vs. 2 million km2). However, Greenland has 1 percent of Denmark’s population (58,000 vs. 5.9 million).
