Hole in the Wall, a rock formation in the shallow waters of Coffee Bay beach on the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape. The hole in this intertidal island, made of layers of sandstone and shale, was broken through by the force of waves over millennia. In isiXhosa, Hole in the Wall is called esiKhaleni, "place of noise", from the reverberating of waves crashng between the hole's rock walls. (Pieter Edelman, CC BY NC-ND)
