    An impressive rock mountain. Should actually be called “Bussard Rock”. Because the birds it is named after are buzzards, they were just thought to be eagles...

    The 590-meter-high Eagle Rock is one of Madeira's landmarks. Its steep cliff face, which drops steeply into the Atlantic, is one of the island's most impressive cliffs.
