Pacific Coast Highway Winding Along Cliffs, California
Additional Details:
| Highway one skirts the waters of the Pacific, swinging outward and climbing over headlands to drop in hairpin curves. The narrow coastal shelf is sparsely settled, walled off by mountains. Fishing, lumbering, and farming are pursuits. The Pacific Ocean is the largest geographical unit, touching five of seven continents, twice the size of the Atlantic, and one-third of the earth's surface. Named by Ferdinand Magellan in 1519. |
