The Richat Structure is famous for mysterious
Eye of Africa. The structure, situated in central Mauritania, was first
discovered by astronauts on early space missions. The formation is around 30
miles in diameter. The first theory of its origin implied that it formed as a
result of a meteorite hitting the Earth. Although in more modern theories, the
uplift is supposed to be the result of erosion. Researchers have yet failed to
explain the circular form of the structure.
