A petrified tree stump in a sunken forest of Rye, New Hampshire, viewed from above
The Sunken Forests of New Hampshire are two areas of petrified tree stumps submerged off the coast of Rye, New Hampshire, United States.
Trees of these forests sank below sea level after the ending of the Wisconsin glaciation (approximately 11,000 years ago) and subsequent rise in temperature; isostatic rebound has not kept pace with the rise in sea level, and former coastal forests were overtaken by the Atlantic Ocean. The trees could not thrive, even when they were in the early stages of being submerged, as they cannot live in salt water for very long. All that is left of the forests are stumps.[1][2]
