柔和的曙光笼罩着地处北卡罗来纳州史上著名的哈特拉斯角处的灯塔。从南北战争时期起,该灯塔就被用来引领船只穿越图中这个被人们称为“大西洋的墓地”的危险海域。2000年,这个明显的标志物却因海岸线偏移而被往内陆移了半英里(0.8公里)后重置。

英文注释:
Lighthouse at Twilight, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, 2000
A gentle twilight surrounds North Carolina's historic Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Since the Civil War, the lighthouse has guided ships through this treacherous stretch of ocean, dubbed the Graveyard of the Atlantic. In 2000, this iconic landmark was relocated a half mile (0.8 kilometers) inland due to a shifting shoreline.
