The Twelve Apostles
The Twelve Apostles are a collection of limestone stack formations off the coast of Victoria, Australia, formed through continuous ocean erosion along the Great Ocean Road.
Rising dramatically from the Southern Ocean along one of Australia's most scenic coastal drives, these limestone formations continue slowly eroding, with several having already collapsed in recent decades.
