A Remote Southern Location
Slope Point, the southernmost point of New Zealand’s South Island, is a remote and rugged area. It is known for its dramatic weather conditions, with constant fierce winds coming from the Antarctic.
A Harsh Environment
The winds at Slope Point are so strong that they shape everything in their path. This includes the area’s trees, which have become a striking natural phenomenon due to their extreme adaptation to the environment.
Nature’s Sculptures
The trees at Slope Point are permanently bent and twisted by the relentless wind. Their branches lean in the direction of the prevailing winds, forming unique and eerie shapes that make them appear as if they are frozen in motion.
