塔斯曼拱门,塔斯曼国家公园,塔斯马尼亚州,澳大利亚

准备好进行一次海岸探险了吗?欢迎来到位于塔斯马尼亚州的塔斯曼国家公园!塔斯马尼亚州是澳大利亚的一个州,距离大陆东南海岸约150英里。塔斯曼国家公园占地面积超过41平方英里,涵盖森林半岛和塔斯曼半岛的部分地区,包含整个塔斯曼岛。该公园是几种独特的开植物以及澳大利亚海狗和小蓝企鹅的家园。壮观的悬崖和独特的辉绿岩柱是这一地区的主要特征。今天的图片中的塔斯曼拱门就是一个典型的例子。它曾是一个巨大的海蚀的洞顶。海水的压力加上空气、沙子和石头,慢慢撬开了悬崖上的垂直裂缝,使大块的岩石脱落。洞穴不断扩大、加深、加长,直到最后崩塌,留下了这座高耸的天然梁。塔斯曼拱门以荷兰探险家阿贝尔·塔斯曼的名字命名,塔斯马尼亚州也以他的名字命名。

Tasmans Arch, Tasmania, Australia

Ready for a coastal adventure? Welcome to Tasman National Park in Tasmania, an island state of Australia about 150 miles off its southeastern coast. Spanning more than 41 square miles, this park features dramatic cliffs and distinctive columns of dolerite rock. Tasmans Arch, seen in today's image, is a standout example. Shaped over time by the Tasman Sea, it was once the roof of a massive sea cave. The sea's pressure, combined with air, sand, and stones, slowly pried open the vertical cracks in the cliff, dislodging chunks of rock. The cave kept growing, deepening, and lengthening, until it eventually gave way, leaving behind this towering natural bridge. Tasmans Arch is named after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who also lends his name to the state of Tasmania.
