We regularly share photographs of various Geological sites from all around the world taken by us and others, portraying the features that define our planet.
Each picture is accompanied with a caption providing details of the photograph.
We’ve compiled the 4 most popular photographs from our ‘Earth Science Picture of The Week’ feature, over the last 12 months and here they are:
3 Bears Cave – Fforest Fawr, Tongwynlais, Nr Cardiff – an old iron mine, from which iron and limestone have been excavated.
