Geographical Formations
Several features on Earth's surface are colloquially called "Earth's Eye" due to their unique, eye-like appearance when viewed from above:
๐️ The Eye of the Sahara (Richat Structure): A massive, 40-kilometer-wide eroded geological dome in the Mauritanian desert. Its concentric rings make it a prominent feature visible from space.
๐️ Izvor Cetine (Eye of the Earth): A spring at the foot of the Dinara mountain range in Croatia. The deep, blue spring is the source of the Cetina River and has an uncanny resemblance to a human eye.
๐️ Tongtianluo Cave: A karst sinkhole in China that is also known as the "Eye of the Earth".+

The "Eye of the Earth," Croatia's Cetina Springs, is a natural karst spring with a known depth of 155 meters. It's the source of the Cetina River, the longest in Dalmatia, and is named for its eye-like appearance due to the vibrant blue and turquoise shades of the water. While divers have reached depths of 155 meters, some parts remain unexplored.

Famous Quote
In his 1854 book Walden, author Henry David Thoreau used the phrase "Earth's eye" to describe a lake:
"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature".

Art Exhibition
In May 2025, the Moody Gallery in Houston, Texas, hosted Earth's Eye, a solo exhibition by artist Liz Ward. The collection of paintings and mixed-media works explores the multiple meanings of landscape through layers of human history, memory, and environmental change.
