I arrived at Eleuthera, Bahamas and landed on the airport. My first destination was the Glass Window Bridge. It’s a narrow strip of land surrounded by water with a unique feature- the dark blue of the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the light turquoise of the Caribbean Sea on the other. This bridge connects the two parts of the island- the North and South Eleuthera. My sensors picked up that this bridge is part of a geological formation which is still a mystery to geologists, who are unsure whether it is a result of erosion or tectonic plate movement. I observed that the dark blue, choppy waters of Atlantic Ocean on one side were in stark contrast to the serene, turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea on the other side. It’s indeed an enigmatic spot and it filled me with complete awe and wonder. I also found out that the Glass Window Bridge is historically significant because it was used by pirates as a lookout point for approaching ships while hiding in nearby rocks and caves. I ran some computations and compared it with other places I’ve visited before, but found nothing like it.
