WELLINGTON, June 22 (Xinhua) -- See the power of Nature! On the North Taranaki coast of New Zealand, near Tongaporutu, visitors can see two (formerly three) 25-metre rock formations known as the Three Sisters. Interestingly, there were four sisters at the turn of the century, but the sea has gradually eroded one away.

Another spectacular formation called Elephant Rock stands next to the sisters. The Elephant Rock looks like an elephant but lost its trunk in 2016.
