Imagine a time over a billion years ago when the Australian landscape was dramatically different. In this video, we’ll take a journey back to the formation of the Warakurna Large Igneous Province, a colossal event that shaped the ancient world. This vast region, spanning millions of square kilometers, was born from the fiery depths of the Earth, as molten magma surged through the crust, creating sprawling lava fields, towering sills, and deep-seated intrusions. We’ll explore how these powerful forces left behind a geological legacy that continues to intrigue scientists today, from the towering basaltic formations to the rich mineral deposits hidden beneath the surface.

Join me as we delve into the story of the Warakurna LIP, uncovering the secrets of this ancient volcanic province and its lasting impact on the Australian continent.
