PLATE 36 



Fig. 78 The sea stacks at Cape San Lucas, an important landmark to navigators 

 crossing the Gulf of California. The rocks are seen from the east, or 

 Gulf side, the open Pacific lying beyond them. Chart 45, p. 394. 



Fig. 79 Cape San Lucas as seen from the south appears to be a continuous mass 

 of granite. However, when seen from either west or east, it resolves 

 itself into a number of well-separated stacks and arches allowing pass- 

 age of the sea between.
