The Arch

The Arch
The arch running under the Admiralty Islands (see also previous image), taken from a boat. I'm not sure if this is called Admiralty Arch. Well, on his return to England, Lt Lidgbird Ball was promoted to Captain and later to Rear Admiral, so I guess his 'sucking up' to head office with the names paid off! :-)

Impressive example!
So there are other bits and pieces of land still above the surface in the vicinity, presumably also erosional relics? I wonder how big the whole island was during the Pleistocene lowstand!

You prompted me to look it up, Steve. There is a good Wikipedia entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Howe_Island , however the quick answer is that there remains only about one fortieth of the original island and what is now there is expected to erode away in just 200,000 years.

Do you mean to say that sucking up pays dividends as far as promotion goes, George? I should have tried that while I was still a working woman! ;-)
