10 Places With Geological Features That Shouldn’t Exist (6 of 6)

Mount Roraima

Mount Roraima looks like a mountain that forgot how mountains work. Instead of having a nice sharp peak, it ends in a huge flat summit surrounded by sheer cliffs. It’s around two billion years old, making it one of the oldest exposed geological curiosities on the planet. It’s the leftover piece of an ancient plateau worn down by erosion over unimaginable stretches of time. The isolated summit is filled with strange rock formations, pools, and rare species, and looks exactly like the kind of place where a fantasy novel would begin.
