The Hole in the Rock

Piercy Island, often known simply as The Hole In The Rock, is located off the north coast of the North Island of New Zealand. It is at the very northern tip of Cape Brett in the Bay of Islands. The island is more of a rock, barren only having gannets and other sea birds to call it home. The island itself was named Piercy Island by Captain Cook in honour of one of the Lords of the Admiralty and is called Motukokako in Maori. The 60-foot (18 m) hole at sea level was created over centuries by wind and waves
