“The hikers climbed for hours until they reached the edge of the headland. Below them, the Atlantic Ocean stretched out to the horizon, its blue waves turning white as they hit the base of the cliffs. Standing there on the headland, they felt like they were at the very end of the world.” (徒步旅行者爬了好几个小时，直到到达岬角的边缘。在他们下方，大西洋一直延伸到地平线，蓝色的海浪拍打在悬崖底部时变成了白色。站在岬角上，他们觉得仿佛来到了世界的尽头。)
