Guri i Kamjes is a natural monument located on the border between the highlands of Mokra and Gora, in eastern Albania. A rocky peak rising at an elevation of 1455m (4,774feet), it is composed of conglomerates and molasse sandstones. The sandstone rocks have resisted erosion, resulting in a unique microrelief formation shaped by atmospheric agents such as rain, snow, and wind. The peak appears like an island rising above its surrounding area, and from afar, it resembles a large ship.[1] [2]
