"Boilers" along the southeast coast of Bermuda.
Along the south shore of Bermuda, waves break continuously along algal/vermetid reefs (composed
of algae and molluscs, not coral), forming "boilers." Boilers are named because the continuous
breaking of waves makes it look as if the sea is boiling. This photograph taken from the
International Space Station shows the eastern half of the main islands of Bermuda. Land use is
about 6 percent cropland, 55 percent developed and 34 percent rural. Reflective white-colored
areas are buildings and other developments surrounded by green areas of vegetation. St. David’s
Island is also home to the airport, with runways built out into Castle Harbour.
