Let's have a short look into the museum in the Christoffel park.

 


A geological model of Curacao.

 

Model

In the front you see a mountain with a very flat top (it's out of focus). The high mountain in the back is the Christoffel.

 

Reality

Here you see this flat mountain filmed from the peak of the Christoffel mountain.
