This triangle of basalt rock juts 550 metres out of the sea.
Situated 23 km south of Lord Howe Island, Ball’s Pyramid is the world’s tallest sea stack and one of a series of volcanic pinnacles formed from a massive eruption millions of years ago.

The pyramid was named after Captain Henry Lidgbird Ball, who first sighted it in February 1788.
