Boulder on a coastal wave-cut platform at low tide
Wave-cut platform. View of a large boulder on a coastal wave-cut (abrasion) platform at low tide. This virtually smooth marine platform of hard limestone has been cut by the seas waves. Over the surface of the platform and the boulder are thousands of tiny barnacles (white encrusting). Amongst the barnacles are larger snail-like dog whelks and cone-shaped limpets. Seaweed is associated with the wetter areas around the small rock pools. Photographed in Robin Hoods Bay, Yorkshire, England

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of a boulder resting on a wave-cut platform along the Yorkshire coast in England. At low tide, this rugged coastal landscape reveals its secrets as the relentless power of the sea has sculpted a virtually smooth marine platform out of hard limestone. The waves' abrasive force over time has created an awe-inspiring sight that is both mesmerizing and humbling. The surface of this expansive platform, including the massive boulder at its center, is adorned with thousands of tiny barnacles, forming a delicate white encrustation. Amongst these resilient creatures are larger snail-like dog whelks and cone-shaped limpets, adding to the rich biodiversity found within this ecosystem. As you explore closer, you'll notice patches of seaweed flourishing in wetter areas around small rock pools. These vibrant green plants bring life and color to this otherwise rocky terrain while providing shelter for various marine organisms. Captured by Science Photo Library in Robin Hoods Bay, this photograph not only captures nature's remarkable ability to shape our world but also serves as a reminder of the constant process of coastal erosion that shapes coastlines worldwide. It invites us to appreciate Earth's ever-changing landscapes and marvel at their intricate details.
