View on the plain of Petra

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

The photograph was taken during the second DESERVE Winter School in Jordan in December 2016. We are looking down on the plain at the ancient ruins of Petra. In the front we can see a large cavitiy weathered into the hard Cambrian sandstone.
