Moeraki Boulders
The Moeraki Boulders are being seen at Koekohe Beach in Moeraki, New Zealand, on January 22, 2024. These unique geological formations have become a popular tourist attraction on the South Island due to their size, shape, and mysterious origins. They are composed primarily of mudstone and were originally formed around 60 million years ago during the Paleocene era, according to scientists. (Photo by Sanka Vidanagama/NurPhoto)
