Nika and Flo, sailing the 36-ft Santana, arrived at the marina of La Estaca on El Hierro after a passage from La Gomera.0:07 The island features distinct climate zones driven by northeast trade winds, which force moist air up the windward mountains to create a "sea of clouds" between 600 and 1,500 meters of elevation.8:11 In this cloud forest zone, native heath trees capture moisture through a process called horizontal rain, which the island collects in wells to supplement its arid water supply.8:21 The crew explored the island’s interior, including the high-altitude cloud forest, before descending to the northwestern coast to visit a beach characterized by iron-rich, oxidized volcanic rock.9:28 They also dined at the local restaurant Aguadara, which serves traditional Canarian stews featuring goat and rabbit.10:55 The island’s geography ranges from lush, high-altitude forests to dry, sunny coastal areas in the rain shadow.
