The
mountain sides are covered with wild hydrangeas, palm trees, ferns,
tall cedars and spruce trees. The drop to the ocean is very steep in
many places. There are many areas where there are waterfalls. Some are
used as power to turn large stones called mill wheels to grind corn.
There
are many beautiful lakes with very steep sides. That is because these
lakes are in a volcanic crater. There are also flat areas here where
people live along the lakes.
There
are semi-flat areas where about 75,000 cows graze in fields divided by
lava rock walls or hydrangea hedges. The cheese and butter made from cow
milk is very tasty. There are also many goats on the island. Goat's
milk is used to makes some delicious cheeses. There is a lot of corn
grown for cows and people. Farmers also grow a variety of other fruits
and vegetables.
