Great views from the Northlink Ferry
The Old Man of Hoy的点评
点评：We had some great views of the Old Man of Hoy as we passed on the Northlink Ferry.
Formed by erosion of wind and sea over millennia the Old Man rises out of the Atlantic Ocean to a height of 450 feet off the west coast of Orkney. The Old Man of Hoy is the UK’s tallest sea stack. Separated from land the stack was originally an arch with two “legs”, hence its name, however a severe storm literally washed away one of the legs leaving the solitary pillar. No doubt the same fate awaits the remaining, but not for a few years yet hopefully.
Limited time on Orkney meant that we would only see it from the sea, but the views were magnificent on a clear morning from the sea.
Since December TripAdvisor has not been adding my contributions so I'm now doing it myself. This Review takes it to 12902. Thank you for reading.

翻译：我们乘坐北联渡轮经过霍伊岛时，欣赏到了壮丽的老人岩（Old Man of Hoy）。
老人岩由风和海浪经年累月的侵蚀形成，耸立于奥克尼群岛西海岸的大西洋海域，高达450英尺（约137米）。它是英国最高的海蚀柱。老人岩最初与陆地分离，呈拱形，有两条“腿”，因此得名。然而，一场猛烈的风暴将其中一条“腿”彻底冲走，只留下孤零零的柱子。毫无疑问，剩下的柱子也难逃同样的命运，但希望这种情况不会持续太久。
由于在奥克尼群岛停留的时间有限，我们只能从海上观赏老人岩，但在一个晴朗的早晨，从海上看到的景色依然令人叹为观止。
