Pancake rocks (Punakaiki) 120111
West Coast from Westport to Haast was pleasantly surprising. Some Kiwis say it is the best place in the world...I am not sure about this but at least it is worth spending some time over there. All over the coastline, mountains covered with rainforest end abruptly at sea and the action of wind and water have weathered all the rocks, giving them very original shapes. Pancake Rocks are the most popular of them, and despite geologists know that they were formed by acumulation of marine sediments (limestone), it still is not clear which process triggered the formation of layers.
