Punakaiki, New Zealand: iconic Pancake Rocks, blowholes & rugged coastline. Millennia of erosion created this geological wonder. The formations are known as Pancake Rocks because of their distinctive, flattened layers. The name Punakaiki is Māori and is often translated as 'a spring of food' (puna-kai) or, fittingly, 'a blowhole'. | Ancient Historic Wonders
