A brief but intriguing visit on the journey from Mount Cook to Wanaka.
The Clay Cliffs lie on private land roughly 10km west of Omarama, near the southern end of the Mackenzie Basin.
These alien-like formations are a series of tall pinnacles separated by narrow ravines.
They are formed from layers of gravel and silt, originally sculpted by the flow of ancient glaciers over a million years ago! ♤ Sony A7ii ♡ Zeiss 24-70mm F4
