BALL’S PYRAMID.—Every visitor to Lord Howe Island unleashes his adjectives when he sees Ball’s Pyramid: frightening, majestic, grand, or grandiose. When he flew past it in 1931, Francis Chichester found it so honeycombed, “it looked as if very little were needed to topple it over.” The picture is from “Lord Howe Island” by Alan and Valrie Finch, a book reviewed on this page.
