It takes a while to make pancakes in New Zealand’s west coast — and at 30 million years at that! These “Pancake Rocks” near Punakaiki were actually eroded over millions of years by water, wind and salt and have eventually caused the pancake-like stack facade of these limestones! (In this area, you will also find impressive blowholes).
