So much more

Southern Alps, New Zealand.

The Southern Alps (Māori: Kā Tiritiri o te Moana) are a mountain range extending along much of the length of New Zealand’s South Island, reaching its greatest elevations near the island’s western side.
The range runs 500 km north to south. The tallest peak is Aoraki / Mount Cook, the highest point in New Zealand at 3,724 metres (12,218 ft) and there are sixteen other points that exceed 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in height. The mountains are cut through with glacial valleys and lakes.
The Southern Alps lie along a geological plate boundary, part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, with the Pacific Plate to the southeast pushing westward and colliding with the northward-moving Indo-Australian Plate to the northwest.

Skógafoss

Skógafoss

 

The spectacular Skógafoss waterfall, south-west Iceland.

Skógafoss, with a width of 25 meters and a drop of 60 meters, is originated by the water of the river Skógaá that falls from the cliffs of the former coastline.
After the coastline had receded into the sea (it is now at a distance of about 5 km from Skógar), the cliffs stayed behind parallel to the coast over hundreds of kilometers, creating together with some mountains, a clear border between the Lowlands and the Highlands of Iceland.

Wind and Dunes – Wharariki Beach, New Zealand

Posted by littlefrankphotos on

Outstanding landscape of wind and dunes. Wharariki Beach, New Zealand.

Remote, desolate Wharariki Beach in the Golden Bay is a wild introduction to the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, with mighty dune formations, looming rock islets just offshore and a seal colony at its eastern end.
