New Zealand Curio Bay
Sunrise at the edge of the Curio Bay Cliffs in New Zealand.
Curio Bay is a coastal embayment in the Southland District of New Zealand, best known as the site of a petrified forest some 180 million years old. It also hosts a yellow-eyed penguin colony, arguably the rarest of penguin species, with approximately 1600 breeding pairs in the extant population.
