The world's tallest sea cliffs: Nature’s towering marvels
From dramatic coastlines to plunging drops into the sea, the world’s tallest sea cliffs are geological wonders that captivate explorers, climbers, and photographers alike. Topping this awe-inspiring list is Mitre Peak in New Zealand, standing at a staggering 1,683 meters. Towering over Milford Sound, this iconic peak is often shrouded in mist, enhancing its mystical presence and allure. Following closely are The Elephant (1,517 m) and The Lion (1,302 m), adding to the grandeur of Earth’s most precipitous coastlines. These cliffs are not only visually breathtaking but also challenge the very definition of a “sea cliff”, whether it’s measured by vertical drop or total elevation above sea level.
