Spouting Horn
Feb 20, 2025
We continued driving around the Island and headed through the tree tunnel and to Spouting Horn, a blowhole. As we headed to it, the narrator on the guide along app told the story about how the coastline was guarded by a giant lizard who would eat anyone who tried to fish or swim in the area. A young boy outwitted the lizard by jumping into the sea and then swimming under the lava rocks escaping through the hole. The giant lizard followed and got stuck in it. The roar and water is from the lizard.
It is something to hear as well as see. It was almost comical that when I pulled the camera out, the spouts didn’t seem to be nearly as dramatic and when I put the camera away, there would suddenly be a huge one. It was as if it knew that it was being photographed and wasn’t cooperating!
