Сотни туристов совершили восхождение на священную скалу Улуру в Австралии в последний раз: с субботы вступил в силу запрет и подняться на скалу больше нельзя.
Скала-монолит считается священной у аборигенов Австралии, и они неоднократно высказывали просьбу туристам на неё не подниматься. Но современному человеку всё нипочём, просьбой каких-то там туземцев можно и пренебречь…
The giant monolith - once better known to visitors as Ayers Rock - is permanently off limits from Saturday.
Uluru is sacred to the indigenous people, who have long asked tourists not to climb.
Only 16% of visitors went up in 2017 - when the ban was announced - but the climb has been packed in recent weeks.
The final climbers had to wait before they could start, because of dangerously strong winds. The winds are one of many reasons Uluru has been closed to people who want to reach the top.
