Rock-dominated topographies appear timeless, yet they are relentlessly shaped by the forces of geology. These three natural wonders, defined by their towering pinnacles, are visually convergent despite each having a unique erosional history.

The Old Man of Storr, forged by volcanic activity and revealed by post-glacial landslides. Iceland's Reynisdrangar sea stacks, sculpted by the relentless pounding of ocean waves. Italy's Earth Pyramids of Platten, patiently carved raindrop by raindrop from boulder-rich soils. All stand as monuments to the passage of time and impermanence of nature.
