Ball's Pyramid   Yesterday we looked at two pebble in the ocean.  A stone with a cap , and another stone with oil .  Let us now look at the stone SAIL.

  Ball's Pyramid (English Ball's Pyramid, 31 ° 45'21 "w. W. 159 ° 15'02" to. Etc.) - a small volcanic island in the Tasman Sea, 20km south-east of Lord Howe Island .  Known, which is the highest volcanic rock on the planet (562m.).  The island is uninhabited and looks like a huge sail.


  The island was discovered in 1788, the first man landed on it much later - in 1882.  There are currently visiting the island is strictly regulated and requires permission not only to guide Lord Howe Island, to which Ball's Pyramid is geographically, but also directly to the Australian Government.  In short, get on it is almost impossible and can only admire this vast object stone from a distance, from the board any recreational vessel.
  Another interesting fact: in 2000.  on this island was discovered by a small colony (about 30 individuals) Giant stick insects - insects relic that has long been thought to be extinct.  The only question is whether people save the last of this kind ...

  The area of ​​its base - a total of 200 square meters.  meters.  But the height - 562 meters.  Bols Pyramid lies between Australia and New Zealand, but tourists do not spoil the attention that high-altitude vista of the Pacific.  There's really no place to build hotels, no beach.  Even the conquest of the peak of 1982 prohibits local authorities.
  Prior to the ban is still some good climbing climbers had to make.  But since 1986, not only the ascent - limited even just visiting the cliff.


  The exception was the expedition of scientists who have studied the local fauna and flora.  Yes, the stones of the Pyramids Bols is not lifeless, as it might at first seem.  Oozing moisture between the stones provides power to small shrubs.  And those, in turn, otmiraya create blockages brushwood.  That that's the brushwood, and biologists expect the biggest surprise - they found a small population of the insect Dryococelus australis - a giant stick insects.  But it was thought that he was dead.  A couple of stick insects were sent to the zoo - to reproduce.


  Even the rocks of the island without interest.  Rock - a volcanic origin, and it is believed that its submarine base - Tasmanian continent, a huge recessed plateau, whose apex - New Zealand and all the islands in this region.  You can imagine how high Bols Pyramid is not above sea level, but from its inception - Tasmanian plateau of the continent!
