Introduction

In New Zealand, Punakaiki is famous for its amazing pancake-shaped rocks and stunning blowholes. These limestone formations have been weathered over time to form peculiar shapes that resemble stacked pancakes. When the tide comes in, seawater rushes in the caves and bursts out of the blowholes, creating a deafening roar.
