To celebrate the spooky season, NASA has released a bone-chilling photo of a creepy"skull" that appears to glower up toward space from the heart of an enormous volcanic pit in Chad.
The skull-shaped feature is located on the floor of Trou au Natron, also known as Doon Orei — a 3,300-foot-wide volcanic caldera, or crater, that was left behind by a massive volcanic eruption hundreds of thousands of years ago. The geological indentation is located just to the south of Tarso Toussidé, an even larger volcanic feature that is home to a potentially active stratovolcano.
In the 1960s, researchers discovered fossils of sea snails and plankton beneath the pit's natron-covered floor, according to Earth Observatory. And in 2015, a follow-up expedition found algal fossils that date back 120,000 years.
