Banks Peninsula

"Banks Peninsula forms the most prominent volcanic feature of the South Island. Geologically, the peninsula comprises the eroded remnants of two large stratovolcanoes (Lyttelton formed first, then Akaroa). These formed due to intraplate volcanism between approximately eleven and eight million years ago (Miocene) on a continental crust. The peninsula formed as offshore islands, with the volcanoes reaching to about 1,500 m above sea level."

    I wrote a little offline script to batch change the thumbnail size and make the link to the original image :)

    Very nice views, I particularly like the one with the little boat in front of the huge landscape.
