와이트섬의 바늘

 

태양빛을 받은 이 바다 더미는 마지막 빙하기에 솔렌트를 가로질러 퍼벡 섬의 올드 해리 록스까지 뻗어 있는 것으로 생각되는 백악 언덕 능선의 일부인 와이트 섬의 바늘입니다. 녹는 얼음은 육지를 범람시키고 백악 능선을 침식하여 본토에서 와이트 섬을 분리하고 틈의 양쪽에 암석을 남겼습니다. 오늘날 남아 있는 세 개의 더미는 1764년 폭풍우 동안 바다로 무너진 롯의 아내로 알려진 네 번째 바늘 모양의 바위 봉우리의 이름을 따서 명명되었습니다.

그 그루터기는 썰물 때도 여전히 볼 수 있어 위험한 암초를 형성합니다. 이는 선원들에게 여러 장애물 중 하나입니다. 와이트 섬의 끝은 혹독한 날씨에 노출되어 있으며 기상 관측소는 종종 영국에서 가장 강한 바람을 기록하며 많은 선박이 이 보호된 난파선 사이트에서 문제를 겪었습니다. 두 척의 군함 잔해가 이곳에서 발견되었습니다. HMS Pomone은 1811년 이곳에서 침몰했으며 The Assurance는 1753년 자메이카에서 ​​포츠머스로 돌아오다가 침몰했습니다.

바다 더미의 끝에는 현재 자동화된 The Needles Lighthouse가 있습니다. 이 등대는 1859년부터 여기에서 배를 안내해 왔습니다. 이미지 상단에는 1862년에 건설된 2등급 등재 빅토리아 요새인 The Needles Old Battery가 있습니다. 두 세계 대전 중에. 와이트 섬에는 멋진 자연 경관이나 유적지 등 볼거리가 많습니다.

The Needles

These sun-kissed sea stacks are The Needles on the Isle of Wight, part of a ridge of chalk hills which, during the last Ice Age, is thought to have stretched across the Solent to Old Harry Rocks on the Isle of Purbeck. Melting ice then released a deluge of water which flooded land and eroded the chalk ridge, severing the Isle of Wight from the mainland and leaving behind rock formations on either side of the gap. Today’s three remaining stacks are named after a fourth, needle-shaped rocky pinnacle known as Lot’s Wife, which collapsed into the sea during a storm in 1764.

Its stump is still visible at low tide, forming a dangerous reef – one of several obstacles for sailors. The tip of the Isle of Wight is exposed to harsh weather, a weather station often records the strongest winds in Britain, and many ships have gotten into trouble at this protected wreck site. The remains of two warships have been discovered here. The HMS Pomone sunk here in 1811, as did The Assurance, which was lost in 1753 while returning to Portsmouth from Jamaica.

At the end of the sea stacks sits The Needles Lighthouse, now automated, which has been guiding ships here since 1859. At the top of the image is The Needles Old Battery, a Grade II-listed Victorian fort built in 1862, which saw service during both World Wars. There’s lots to see on the Isle of Wight, be it stunning natural scenery or historic sites.
