The Marquesas are islands which are high in altitude and of volcanic origin. Most are made of a central mountain range, over 3,300 ft high, giving them a very pronounced topography. Basalt peaks dominate the sharp edged valleys, covered in tropical, exuberant greenery. Along the shoreline, some breathtakingly high cliffs follow one another, beaten by the swell of the ocean, as well as some wide bays. These wild islands, exposed to cold currents coming up from the Antarctic, do not have any corals reefs.
