The easternmost point of St. Croix is Point Udall. It is also the easternmost point in the United States and its territories. The monument in the background was built to commemorate the millenium. It evokes two M's which each represent 1000 in Roman Numerals. It is also a sundial and there is a post that represents the position of the sun at the turn of the millenium.
This picture is looking down at the easternmost point of Point Udall. That is as far east as you can go in the USA.
Just a little to the west of Point Udall is this radio telescope. It is part of the baseline array telescope. There are individual telescopes all around the world that are all connected and synchronized via the Internet. When the telescopes are aimed together they produce a much higher resolution image. Ahh the wonders of technology.
Just a shot of the Virgin Island license plates.
