Bermuda, located in the Atlantic Ocean, is 1,070 km east-southeast of North Carolina in the USA. It is at about 32 degrees N and 31 degrees W. Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory. People speak English. Cars drive on the wrong side of the road. Tourism is a major industry.
Bermuda is an archipelago formed from several extinct volcanos, possibly 4. These igneous mountains, mainly basalt, are capped with limestone.
This retaining wall is made of basalt, not the best material for permanent construction.
Basalt is porous and crumbles. However, basalt is widely available in Bermuda.
