Elephant seals, seal lions, and sedamentary rocks

South island harbors a rookery for elephant seals, though if you can tell them from the sea lions in this picture, you have better eyes than I.

The islands themselves thrust very abruptly out of the sea, and you can see the upheaval that put them there in the way the rocks are warped, cracked and crushed in places.
