Description

A low, rocky island with a flat-topped, rounded profile rises out of calm, rippled water under an overcast sky. Its shoreline is broken into dark boulders, and its steep face shows pale, layered and eroded banks. No people or boats are visible, and the view is taken from the water at sea level.
