Torhellia Geo

Bay

Why this matters

Torhellia Geo is a coastal rock feature on the Orkney Islands, formed by differential erosion of Jurassic sandstone and shale, creating a small bay and steep sea cliffs. It is notable for its well-exposed sedimentary layers and the dynamic coastal processes that continue to shape its form.
