I'm gonna climb to the mountains and see above the clouds so we planned The Mount La pouce climb,yesterday on a Sunday early in the morning when i wake up, the first thing i did was to check the weather if its a wonderful day to climb and when I saw the sun is rising and give its way into a clear sky,i talk to my friends and confirm them that the climb is on,so pack my camera gears and my tripod buddy to meet them at the rendezvous and there we meet new friends and the awesome thing is that one of my friend bring his baby a 6 month old and the three dogs as our body guards,i love dogs and they are very friendly we reach at the summit and see above the clouds and do some nice High Dynamic Range photographs and then I remember the history of this mountain when i check it in Google that the Mountain la pouce was formed ten million years ago in a basalt lava dome Charles darwin ascended the Mountain during his voyage around the world.

"[On 2 May] Charles Darwin ascended La Pouce [sic], a mountain so called from a thumb-like projection, which rises close behind the town to a height of 2600 feet. The centre of the island consists of a great platform, surrounded by old broken basaltic mountains, with their strata dipping seawards. The central platform, formed of comparatively recent streams of lava, is of an oval shape, thirteen geographical miles across, in the line of its shorter axis. The exterior bounding mountains come into that class of structures called Craters of Elevation, which are supposed to have been formed not like ordinary craters, but by a great and sudden upheaval. There appears to me to be insuperable objections to this view: on the other hand, I can hardly believe, in this and in some other cases, that these marginal crateriform mountains are merely the basal remnants of immense volcanos, of which the summits either have been blown off, or swallowed up in subterranean abysses.

Its amazing isn't it that the Mountain you climb with the all adrenalin rush experience and the amazing view at the summit,that great Charles Darwin was here it is like having a Time machine,looking back hundred years ago as time passes by my journey in Mauritius is getting more Adventurer..(see you on my next blog)
