Mount Pieter Both

Mount Pieter Both, with its characteristic mountaintop. It looks like a boulder somehow got stuck on the peak. That thing is approx. 10 m (33 feet) in diameter, and actually firmly attached to the rock mass. Some people even climb it. This distinguished landscape feature is visible from most parts of northern Mauritius. The Mountain was named after the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies. It is being said that while that boulder is up there, Mauritius is up and well.
