Standley Chasm is a geological formation located west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. It lies within the West MacDonnell National Park.[1] The Western Arrernte Aboriginal people are its original owners; it is traditionally known as Angkerle Atwatye, meaning the Gap of Water.[2] Standley Chasm is located in a reserve privately owned by the Iwupataka Land Trust.[3]
The first European name for the formation was Gall Springs but it was renamed Standley Chasm in honour of Ida Standley, the first school teacher in Alice Springs.[4][5]
