View from the ferry connecting Pico and Faial in NW direction to the steep coastal cliff at Ponta da Espalamaca in the foreground and the Vulcão da Caldeira, main volcano of the island, in the background. The cliff shows clear signs of at least one relatively recent rock fall event, most likely caused by coastal erosion.
