Hedgehog Rocks Formation Tassili N'ejjer/Algeria

The Tassili n'Ajjer national park is a mountainous region of the Sahara Desert, and amongst its many unusual rock formations is this rather uncanny creature

Tassili n'Ajjer is a heavily eroded sandstone rock formation in the Algerian section of the Sahara Desert, situated on vast plateau in south-east Algeria at the borders of Libya, Niger and Mali, covering an area of 72,000 sq. km.

The geological conformation of Tassili n'Ajjer includes Precambrian crystalline elements and sedimentary sandstone successions of great paleo-geographical and paleo-ecological interest, The range is composed largely of sandstone. Erosion in the area has resulted in nearly 300 natural rock arches being formed, along with many other spectacular landforms.
