On the rocks

Welcome to Otter Cliffs on Mount Desert Island, the second largest island on the USA’s east coast. Here thrill-seekers have the chance to take in the picturesque Atlantic seashore from the edge of a sheer granite wall. Rising some 60ft (18m) above the crashing waves below, the cliffs are shown here at low tide - when the tide is in, that ledge at the bottom is completely submerged.
