Atlantic reaches up! 80 | The Eleutheran Magazine

Just south of the famed Glass Window Bridge, where the powerful forces of the Atlantic Ocean are held at bay by a veritable sliver of land characterized by undulating cliffs rising out of the depths forming time tested barriers to the vast expanse of deep blue. sits two unique rock formations called the Cow and Bull.

These two giant boulders have been viewed by tourists and locals visiting the Glass Window Bridge area for the longest time, and have fostered the question: How did they get there?

Some have suggested the gradual weathering and erosion of the rock surface, while others venture upon giant wave action.
