"Ancient Island"
Famed for its stunning rocky terrain and the remains of ancient life that those rocks might contain, Akilia Island lies off the coast of southwestern Greenland. Some researchers and scientists believe that the island contains the oldest known sedimentary rocks on the planet. Sedimentary rock often contains traces of mineral or organic materials because the rock forms in layers, essentially creating a window into the time that a specific layer was formed. Thus, some researchers believe that the sedimentary rock found on the island also contains the oldest evidence of life on earth. These rocks are found on the southwestern tip of the island and believed to be at least 3.85 billion years old.
