Information

A collection of minerals within the sand dunes. The formation is estimated to be over hundreds of thousands of years ago. An immersion of clay, minerals, and sand created the famous cliffs, with the colour stains due to the iron-rich minerals within the sand. The cliff’s sculptures were formed due to the weather, with wind and rain moulding the outer sand until the ancient core was exposed.
