We explore the remarkable
long shore drifting and extensive volcanic deposits that
are together creating large areas of new land. |

Studies
We can examine erosion problems seeing how they are being addressed by the community.
A 40 min walk
lets us view pillow lava formations created by extensive volcanic activity
some 30 km away.
These were covered with
windblown glacial clay now being
eroded by the violent forces of the Pacific Ocean.
We
learn to
understand how the headlands and bays sort and collect the various materials
that all have a long and interesting geological history beginning at the tops of the
Southern Alps.
We can also explore the methods
a small city has grown and developed its drainage and conservation systems.
