Comb Ridge stretches as far as the eye can see in both directions.
Scarred with canyons that cut into it here and there its a steep wall on this side but a gentler slope of slick rock from the other side.

The comb-jelly is well known among along the entire coast. It is often seen close to the surface. It appears most frequently during summer and fall, but can be seen the entire year.
Due to its modest size, the diameter does not exceed 2,5 cm, it is easily overlooked. The name comb-jelly refers to the eight rows of hair-like cilia present on the body, which are known as comb-rows. The rhythmic beating of these cilia enables the animal to swim, and also refracts light, creating a multi-coloured shimmer.
Despite their delicate, almost ghostly appearance, comb-jellies are voracious predators, feeding on fish eggs and larvae, molluscs, copepod crustaceans, and even other sea-gooseberries. Prey is caught by the long tentacles, which act as a net and bear adhesive cells known as colloblasts. The tentacles are then ‘reeled in’ and the prey is passed to the mouth.
