Tessellated Pavement, Eaglehawk Neck, Tasmania, Australia

This image was taken at the isthmus which connects the Tasman Peninsula to the rest of Tasmania, which is covered in a pattern of regular rectangular saltwater pools. Although these depressions look distinctly man-made, they are the result of a rare type of natural erosion and called tessellated pavement for its resemblance to Roman mosaic floors (also called tessellated pavement). There are only a few sites in the world with this type of formation.

    Excellent capture of what really looks like the back of a huge crocodilian! Amazing!

    +Grzegorz Piechowicz​ I think the stacks may be at the end of the Cape Hauy Track but maybe someone from Tas can confirm?
