Kapurpurawan Rock FormationThis photo shows the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation, a popular landmark located in the Ilocos Norte Province of the Philippines on the island of Luzon. The name “Kapurpurawan” comes from the root word “puraw,” meaning “white” in the Ilocano language. The whitish-colored limestone sedimentary rocks on the beach near the Burgos Lighthouse have been shaped by thousands of years of wind and wave erosion.-AmyReferences:http://www.philippine-visit.com/kapurpurawan-rock-formation.htmlhttp://www.lantaw.com/2009/11/burgos-kapurpurawan-rock-formation.htmlPhoto Credit Perry Dominguez, Wikimedia Commons -- source link
