Today these basalt formations are like casually scattered black pearls in the ocean. They are markers of memory of the life of the earth, stopover points for sea birds, and symbols to fishing vessels that they've safely arrived home. Even more, they are precious assets that belong to the world.
羅列於海洋中的玄武岩島嶼，有如海上一串打散的黑珍珠，是大地生命的印記，也是海鳥的中繼站、漁船已安全接近陸地的預知；更是人類世界的珍貴資產。
