West Coast's Wonder: Pancake Rocks! 🥞🌊

#summervacay Discover the incredible Pancake Rocks and Blowholes Track on New Zealand's West Coast! Location: Pancake Rocks and Blowholes Track, West Coast Cost: FREE entry! 🎉 According to scientific research, the Pancake Rocks began forming an astonishing 30 million years ago. Over tens of millions of years, alternating layers of small marine organisms and sand accumulated, creating a multi-layered geological structure composed of hard limestone and mudstone on the seabed. Then, due to seismic activity, this geological area was uplifted from the seafloor above sea level. Some sections rose directly from the sea, forming cliffs and gorges that stand vertically along the coast, looking just like giant stacks of pancakes! Over millions more years, the relentless erosion of seawater, waves, wind, and rain sculpted them into the magical landscape we see today. It's a truly mesmerizing testament to geological time and natural forces. #pancakerocks #newzealand #westcoast #blowholes #geologicalwonder #naturenz #freeentry #travelnz #punakaiki #naturalphenomenon 🇳🇿💖
