Rough sea conditions 結果共1筆

The iconic Shen-Ao elephant trunk rock on Taiwan’s northeastern coast collapsed into the sea, raising concerns about the fate of the ’Queen’s Head’ rock at Yehliu Geopark. The rock’s trunk was confirmed to be broken, likely due to severe weather and rough sea conditions. This news quickly spread online, sparking discussions and worries about the ’Queen’s Head’ suffering a similar fate. Over the years, erosion has reduced the neck’s thickness of the ’Queen’s Head’ from 144 centimeters in 2006 to 119 centimeters in 2023. The Ministry of Transport and Communications has been working to prevent damage, but can only slow the natural erosion process in hopes of extending the lifespan of this iconic natural structure.
