Ant hills can be impressive, but these termite structures in the north of Arnhem Land qualify as amazing works of art. Many a bird’s nest may leave us equally awe-struck because of its ingenuity, but it’s the sheer size of these termitariums that’s so amazing.
More than man-sized, they evoke images of castles or cathedrals, but then entirely built up of earth and cemented with termite saliva. A true wonder of nature.
