Elephant Rocks, Limestone rock formation in Waitaki District, New Zealand.
The Elephant Rocks consist of large limestone formations scattered across a grassy hillside, covering an area of approximately 200 meters near Duntroon.
The formations originated 25 million years ago when the area was submerged beneath a shallow sea, with limestone deposits gradually shaped by natural erosion processes.
The surrounding Maerewhenua River area contains multiple rock art sites where Māori ancestors created paintings of animals and mythical beings using natural pigments.
Visitors can reach the formations through a 5-minute walk from the parking area on Island Cliff-Duntroon Road, with entry permitted by voluntary donation.
The limestone structures served as the filming location for Aslan's camp in the 2005 production of The Chronicles of Narnia movie.
