The Arch

The Arch
The arch running under the Admiralty Islands (see also previous image), taken from a boat. I'm not sure if this is called Admiralty Arch. Well, on his return to England, Lt Lidgbird Ball was promoted to Captain and later to Rear Admiral, so I guess his 'sucking up' to head office with the names paid off! :-)

Do you mean to say that sucking up pays dividends as far as promotion goes, George? I should have tried that while I was still a working woman! ;-)
Lovely scenery and spectacular arch.

You prompted me to look it up, Steve. There is a good Wikipedia entry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Howe_Island , however the quick answer is that there remains only about one fortieth of the original island and what is now there is expected to erode away in just 200,000 years.
