In the land of dykes and sills

 BSGS group at Madeira, Ponte da São Lourenço

Bay at Madeira, Ponte da São Lourenço

 The extreme east of Madeira, Ponte da São Lourenço

 The BSGS field trip group in the volcanic landscape near Caniço, at the extreme east of the island of Madeira. The superficial resemblance to the familiar granite cliffs of Lands End or maybe parts of the limestone cliffs of the Dorset Jurassic coast is because all are shaped primarily by water erosion: these spectacular cliffs in mid-Atlantic are the results of relatively recent volcanism.
