A Moeraki Boulder is seen at Koekohe Beach in Moeraki, New Zealand, on January 21, 2025. Moeraki Boulders are a unique geological formation that becomes a popular tourist attraction on the South Island due to their size, shape, and mysterious origins. They are composed primarily of mudstone and are originally formed around 60 million years ago during the Paleocene era, according to scientists. (Photo by Sanka Vidanagama/NurPhoto)
