A man is walking past the Moeraki Boulders at Koekohe Beach in Moeraki, New Zealand, on January 22, 2024. The Moeraki Boulders 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)
