The masts of this "tall ship" -- the "Mary Anne," which I sailed on for 14 days and nights through the Galapagos -- are almost 200 feet high. Yet it is dwarfed by the towering cliffs of Punta Vincente Roca, which was formed by an ancient volcano offering a bay protected from ocean swells. I use such scale incongruity here to indicate the sheer size of the cliffs and the remnants of the volcano.
