The Twelve Apostels - Australia
by Jennifer Ziesch, State Authority for Mining, Energy and Geology, Hannover, Germany
I took this image during a field campaign in Australia in November 2013.
The waves of the ocean erode the soft limestone rocks and form a cave, which later became an arch. After a while the arch collapsed and leave a rock stack.
