The Horse Block is a sea stack of the Falkland Islands. It is near Weddell Island.[1]
Geology
Sea stacks are particularly common along the west of the Falklands due to the tidal swell, and the erosive, battering action of the Falkland Current.
As the name implies, it is supposed to look like a horse, with a tower at one end.
