Rocks line the coast near Punakaiki on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand which resemble that of pancakes due to the flatness that they possess. All the rocks stand in a unique rock formations and when the sunset illuminates the New Zealand sky, the tops of the Pancake Rocks soak up the sun's rays.

Punakaiki, New Zealand has become famous because of the Pancake Rocks which are made up of limestone that began to form approximately thirty million years ago. When sea creatures expired, the lime fragments from these animals were left along the seabed and mud and clay formed atop of them.

After many earthquakes, the seabed continued to rise well above sea level
