On the Horizon 25B: Nantucket, Massachusetts

Coextensive with Nantucket County, Massachusetts, in a consolidated town-county system, the Town of Nantucket is highly renowned for the Maria Mitchell exhibitions located throughout. Whether with the Maria Mitchell Observatory, the Maria Mitchell Aquarium, or numerous possibilities in between—and beyond—Nantucket, traditionally a whaling community, provides significant interests for locals and visitors alike. However, Nantucket is only accessible to the American mainland and to […]

The image shows a black and white photograph of the Statue of Liberty, an iconic monument located in New York Harbor. The statue is depicted with its full stature, standing on a pedestal surrounded by water with boats visible in the background. There are people at the base of the statue, giving context to the scale of this colossal sculpture. Smokestacks can be seen across the harbor, suggesting industrial activity near the port area. This photograph appears to have been taken from an elevated perspective, providing a comprehensive view of both the Statue and its surroundings during what seems like late 19th or early 20th-century era based on the image quality and style.

The image depicts the iconic Statue of Liberty standing tall against a clear sky, viewed from an aerial perspective. The statue is captured in black and white, emphasizing its architectural details and grandeur. It holds up a torch aloft with one hand while clasping something resembling a tablet or book in the other.

In the background, we see an expansive view that includes parts of New York Harbor along with some buildings on shorelines visible at various distances behind it. The image appears to be from around 1920-1950 based on its visual style and quality; however, without additional context or metadata attached to this particular file, determining the exact date remains speculative.

The photograph captures a moment of historical significance in American history when the Statue of Liberty was being constructed. This landmark is one of New York City's most recognizable symbols, representing freedom and democracy since it was dedicated on October 28th, 1886.

#KnowledgeBit: A #Nunatak (from Inuit nunataq) is the summit or ridge of a mountain that protrudes from an ice field or glacier that otherwise covers most of the mountain or ridge. They often form natural pyramidal peaks.

Isolated nunataks are also called #Glacial #Islands, and smaller nunataks rounded by glacial action may be referred to as rognons.

Just Room Enough: The Tiny Island That Comes With a Big Question

Exactly, it's wild how some folks see that tiny island as paradise. Makes you wonder if the American Dream is just a fantasy at this point.

Just Room Enough: The Tiny Island That Comes With a Big Question

Yeah, the contrast really hits you. One island’s a statement of excess, the other is about stripping it all back. It’s wild how we chase space like it’s the ultimate goal, but in the end, it's all about the story we tell with it.
