Olduvai Gorge

The Olduvai Gorge is a canyon about 50 km long and up to 90 m deep.  This gorge provided remarkable documentation of ancient life.
The most famous of Olduvai's fossils is the 1.8 million year old ape-like skull discovered by Mary Leakey in 1959, giving rise to a heated debate about human evolution.
