The Pancake Rocks are most spectacular in the Putai area. They were formed 30 million years ago from minute fragments of dead marine creatures and plants landed on the seabed about 2 km below the surface. Immense water pressure caused the fragments to solidify in hard and soft layers. Gradually seismic action lifted the limestone above the seabed. Mildly acidic rain, wind and seawater sculpted the bizarre shapes.

Today I cried about Pike River. Today I cried like I have done a million times before, but today was different- today I cried tears of happiness. Today was the first day of the beginning of something that should have happened a long time ago.
@patrickgowernz this hit me right in the feels - you gave us the platform to share our story, you have backed us from the start and that is something I will never forget.
