Looking down at Petra, Jordan

by Sonja Wadas, Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Hannover, Germany

The photo was taken in December 2016 during the second DESERVE Winter School. In the picture we are looking down at the ruins of the rock city of Petra in Jordan. Over 2000 years ago the Nabataeans cutted the city into the Cambrian sandstones.
