These spherical stones are called Moeraki Boulders, they lay on a beach in South Island in New Zealand. There is a lot of science behind explanation of how they were created but please forgive me, I don’t understand it 😅 What’s amazing? They are milions of years old. When you’re there, when you look at them, you just think they are some stones but you wouldn’t think they are milions of years old. Just some stones, huh?

Moeraki Boulders lie scattered on Koekohe Beach in New Zealand, almost perfect spheres shaped over 60 million years. Māori legend calls them gourds from the canoe Araiteuru, washed ashore after a great wreck—where myth meets geology on the tide.

There's been yet another serious accident at the turnoff to the Moeraki Boulders. SH1 is closed and the only diversion is through farmland, so trucks have to park up and wait.
