Sea stacks 1

One of the most interesting places on the Pacific coast is at Bandon, Oregon, where offshore sea stacks guard the beach.

 

It took nature millions of years and great force to create these spectacular sea stacks. Some of the vertical columns were once part of a headland, but erosion of thinner and softer material isolated them from the mainland.

 

Many stacks were the result of volcanic action, with lava flowing to the sea.
