Here, the cliffs plunge into a swirling mass of angry sea, in a small half circle of a writhing, deadly bay that is anxious to keep chipping away at the column-like structures of the basalt here. It's frightening and beautiful all at the same time.

This place is most deadly, however. There are no barriers keeping you from falling into this fearful, oceanic madness. (UPDATE: there are now barriers there, so it's safer).
