Beneath a clear blue sky we are standing on a light gray granite outcrop atop a mountain, looking out over the tops of a mixed forest of evergreens and leafless hardwoods running down the mountainside before us. Just beyond the trees on our left and just below us is a rocky crag with only a few stunted pines growing from crevices along its crest. A large deep blue pond dominates the view below in front of us. To our right a small rounded mountain rises from the pond's shore. Beyond the pond is a narrow, flat wooded strip of land backed by a long ocean inlet and then another relatively fat piece of land  with a range of mountains to our right and scattered mountains along the horizon.

Oooh, someone stranded on an island when tides came in... Looks like they, tried to swim for it and drowned. 🙏

"...At approximately 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28, National Park Service rangers, the U.S. Coast Guard, Maine Warden Service, Maine Marine Patrol, and Maine Association of Search and Rescue (MASAR) responded to a report from the Bar Harbor Police Department of an individual believed to be stranded on Bar Island. Responders were unable to locate the individual upon arrival. ... The individual was located deceased late Thursday morning. "
