The "Pancake Rocks" formation

Paparoa National Park, South Island, New Zealand, 2000

What New Zealand lacks in wildlife, they make up for in geology. Throughout the country, bizarre rock formations and geothermal areas abound. This fascinating rock formation is made of layers on layers of sandstone and mudstone, eroded by the sea in grooved parallel formations. An easy walk from the parking lot, not to be missed.
