A small patch of trees that grow sideways due to extreme winds

Tucked away at the southernmost tip of New Zealand's South Island is the enchanting Slope Point, where a peculiar spectacle awaits- trees that defy gravity as they grow sideways! Thanks to its geographical position, 4,803 kilometres (2,984 miles) from the south pole and 5,140 kilometres (3,193 miles) beneath the equator, Slope Point experiences heavy winds absolutely every day! This non-stop blustering makes the otherwise ordinary trees bend in response - presenting an image of dense wind-swept hair. To add to this phenomenon, the fields abruptly end with a cliff, making Slope Point quite a sight. In contrast to the crooked forest located in Poland, the sideways trees found here grew naturally due to the wind.
