Seal Colony In Kaikoura Peninsula, New Zealand

Fur seals bask in the sun in Kaikoura Peninsula, South Island, New Zealand on August 09, 2020. The magnitude 7.8 tremor earthquake caused substantial damage to this large seal colony in 2016 and the seabed has been uplifted between two-five meters in certain areas of the seal colony. Kaikoura Peninsula is one of the famous places to see fur seals in New Zealand. (Photo by Sanka Vidanagama/NurPhoto)
