The Cliffs of Insanity

Nowhere else in the world has cliffs like the west coast of Pacifica.
Nowhere else in the world could support them: sheer cliffs three miles high
would collapse long before any sane geological process could uplift them.
And so, too, will the cliffs of Pacifica: with each settlement,
another bit of our precious heritage slips into the sea.
But for now the West Lostangeles Uplift stands,
a staggering monument of terrible beauty standing in memory
of Earth's greatest disaster since the ejection of the Moon.
