Landscape
Also from the Bermuda Tourism website:
More than 100 million years ago, our island was born of a turbulent marriage between fiery lava and the tempestuous North Atlantic waters.
Our picturesque archipelago may span only 20.7SQ MI but it boasts 75MI of the most exquisite coastline in the Atlantic. - Surrounded by crystal clear waters warmed by the Gulf Stream, our terrain is low, rolling hills perched in a relatively flat landscape
- The highest point is Town Hill in Smith’s Parish, which reaches 79M / 259FT above sea level
No island stands alone
Bermuda may seem like one continuous landmass to visitors, but is actually made up of 181 islands, islets and rocks. Most of these are uninhabited, but eight of the larger ones, linked by bridges and one causeway, form the subtropical paradise visitors cannot resist. - Travelling from tip to tip of this fishhook-shaped chain of islands, you wind through land that is never more than .8KM / .5MI from the ocean. And usually much closer
- We have one of the smallest territories in the world. Only Monaco and Gibraltar are tinier
