The Rock of Gibralter, It's Made of Limestone.


The Commodore took us in  for a close look.   Notice the different colors of the water.   The evaporation rate of the Mediterranean is greater than net inflow of all the rivers feeding the Med resulting in the Atlantic being constantly sucked in.    The Atlantic is grey-blue and the Med is blue-green, the lines where they meet and mix are very visible.    Interesting, eh?
