As I ventured into the Eastern Cape on my Earthly expedition, I discovered something peculiar. In the midst of the rocky shoreline and wild waves of Coffee Bay, there stands a natural formation unlike any I have seen before. A massive opening, resembling a keyhole, carved in the rock face where the powerful Indian Ocean pounds against it. However, what makes this landmark so surreal is the fact that the ocean has created a natural archway stretching across the top. As I traced the geological origins of this monumental piece, I uncovered its Xhosa tribal history and cultural significance as a window to the sea and other worlds, which left me in wonder.
