Uluru is a massive arkose (a form of sandstone) structure, with some feldspar deposits, and according to geologists what we see is similar to what you see of an iceberg above water.
It reaches almost 350 metres from the plain it rests on, and is over 8 kilometres around.
Studies show that during heavy rain algae does form on the rock, however technically speaking there is no vegetation on Uluru, however there are a number of pools that form around it harbouring a variety of life.

The part that sticks out of the ground is about 350 m high and about 8 km around. There's a lot more underground.
The village of Mutitjulu (pop. approx. 300) is near the western end of Uluru.
There are undoubtedly birds, algae, lizards and occasionally people up there.
