"The Most Mysterious Geological Formations on the Planet", MOERAKI STONE SPHERES

 The Moeraki spheres date back 60 million years. For the Maori, they are sacred.

In the south of New Zealand, on the beach of Koekohe, there are large stone spheres that arouse intrigue among visitors due to their origin and perfection.

Known as “Moeraki spheres”, these stones, which measure up to three meters in diameter, date back 60 million years, and are the result of erosion and concretion processes over time.

How were they formed? They are believed to have been created by hardening mudstone from the Paleocene period and then progressively buried in the cliffs surrounding the beach. They have recently come to light due to the erosion of these cliffs.

Due to the characteristics of their conformation, these rocks are more resistant to the effects of erosion and therefore their shape is preserved over time. In addition, some have strange cracks, known as "septaries". These openings were filled with small amounts of dolomite and quartz, as well as brown and yellow calcite, giving the spheres their distinctive appearance.

You can visit this strange New Zealand landscape on Koekohe Beach, between the cities of Moeraki and Hampden. It is accessed via State Highway 1.

Frida Kahlo Museum

 La Casa Azul (The Blue House) was the place where Frida Kahlo, the most renowned Latin American artist in the world, came into this world, lived, and took her last breath. The building, which dates to 1904, was not a large-scale construction. Today it has an 800 m2 building surrounded by property measuring 1200 m2. Diego and Frida filled it with color, folk art, and pre-Hispanic pieces to show their admiration for the peoples and cultures of Mexico. The construction underwent two major modifications. When Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky lived with Diego and Frida in 1937, the property today occupied by the garden was purchased. In 1946 Diego Rivera asked Juan O'Gorman to build Frida's studio. The interior of the house has been maintained virtually intact. This was respected by the poet and the couple's friend, Carlos Pellicer, who designed the museum display for the space after Frida's death. Therefore, the house and its contents preserve that intimate atmosphere.
