Rodrigues Bluff Reef View
The World

We accidentally went down the wrong road which ended at this bluff jutting out of the side of the volcanic mountains of Rodrigues (an Island part of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean). It overlooks the broad lagoon filled with reefs which surrounds the island, but particularly on the southern side of the island. I couldn't resist, so I re-visited the bluff and climbed it to take some pictures. Later I came back to take this 360 panorama. The name of the bluff on the map is "Montagne Cherie" and it is marked as 162.2m. I stood on the top of a rock (look down to see it), sitting on top of another rock, that was heavily pocked with erosion (almost like limestone rather than the volcanic rock I think it is). You can see the shadow of the rocks which looks odd until I explained the two rocks on top of each other below you. If you look down, you can also see how we are 10-15 meters above the surrounding terrain with the cliffs of the bluff below you. The top of the bluff is covered in grass with a few trees and rocks dotted around. You can see a pass of darker blue water through the reef. This is the passage of deeper water which ships and boats can use to enter through the reef to Port Sud Est (South East), aptly named since it is on the south east coast.

More About The World

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water. Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth. The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on. The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood. Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later. "Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?" Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept. In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences. Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.
