Overview
After the end of semester 1, in late January I went to Keelung and Shen’ao Elephant Trunk Rock (深澳岬角 象鼻岩景觀區) with some of my friends.
It was a fun trip, but the weather turned worse and it started to pour heavily.
Background
The sandstone and sedimentary that forms the Elephant Rock formation was created between 10 and 20 million years ago, and was pushed out of the sea along with northern Taiwan thousands of years ago. The Elephant's head was formed by easily eroding sandstone, with the area under the trunk being eroded away by the sea and waves.
Elephant Rock is so named because it looks like an elephant.
