The Pinnacles Desert in Australia’s Nambung National Park. Is an eerie
field of tombstones. A fairly recent change of climate made it. See a
great little clip of it at

There is an article about these eye-catchers at

I suspect you haven't read your own website and are just jumping on the
climate change bandwagon.
Here is an excerpt from the website of the West Australian Department of
Environment and Conservation:
http://www.dec.wa.gov.au/hotproperty...pinnacles.html

"Although the formation of the Pinnacles would have taken many thousands of
years, they were probably only exposed in quite recent times. Aboriginal
artefacts at least 6,000 years old have been found in the Pinnacles Desert
despite no recent evidence of Aboriginal occupation. This tends to suggest
that the Pinnacles were exposed about 6,000 years ago and then covered up by
shifting sands, before being exposed again in the last few hundred years.
This process can be seen in action today - with the predominantly southerly
winds uncovering pinnacles in the northern part of the Pinnacles Desert but
covering those in the south. Over time, the limestone spires will no doubt
be covered again by other sand drifts and the cycle repeated, creating weird
and wonderful shapes over and over again."

Or are you just pushing your own website?
But then you should quote it correctly.
