摩天崖, Coastal cliff in Nishinoshima, Japan
The Matengai Cliff extends 257 meters above sea level with vertical walls of basalt rock facing the Sea of Japan.
Natural erosion processes over millions of years created this formation through continuous wave action against the basaltic rock face.
Local farmers maintain grazing grounds near the cliff edges where cattle and horses roam throughout the seasons.
Visitors need to purchase supplies at Urago Port as no vending machines exist near the observation points and parking areas.
The cliff formation stretches for 7 kilometers along the coast, featuring numerous sea caves carved into the dark volcanic rock.
