Description
This photo shows the pancake rock formation at Punakaiki. Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. The Pancake Rocks, located at Dolomite Point, south of the main village, are heavily eroded limestone where the sea bursts through several vertical blowholes during high tides. The 'pancake'-layering of the limestone was created by immense pressure on alternating hard and soft layers of marine creatures and plant sediments.
