Roland's Breach, Pyrenees, France
The Milky Way looks like it is pouring into this giant gap, Roland’s Breach, high in the Pyrenees on the border of France and Spain. This towering natural wonder is 40 metres wide and about 70 metres deep and found on the outskirts of the famous Cirque de Garvarnie – a spectacular amphitheatre-like cliff face, from which numerous waterfalls pour.
