The Underwater Waterfall is an iconic natural phenomenon that occurs off the southern coast of Mauritius. The island is located on top of an ocean shelf so the water around the island isn’t very deep. At the edge of the shelf there is a drastic drop-off and this “underwater waterfall” optical illusion is created by sand being forced off of the shelf by ocean currents into the depths below. This is an extremely challenging photo to take as Mauritius is known for its incredibly high winds making the surf rough and hiding the phenomenon at times. We had to climb to the top of The Rock and send the drone from there. This is a panoramic image to capture the full underwater waterfall and the island in the distance. Since we had so many days on the island we were able to wait for the perfect conditions when the wind and surf made it possible to get a clean shot. We took a risk to do this hike. We hid the car deep in some palm trees, climbed the mountain and had a real taste of freedom for the first time since being trapped in Mauritius.

A Collection by Chelsea Mealo and Brayden Hall
1000 Miles Out is a collection of 37 1/1 images based on the shared experience of getting stuck abroad on the tiny island of Mauritius for 6 months by these two artists. A job had brought them to Mauritius early March 2020. Despite expressing concern about traveling in light of developing travel restrictions, the client urged them to go. It took three days to travel around the world from New York to the middle of the Indian Ocean. The day after arriving, they were informed that the island would be closing its airport, the only way on and off the island, for 10 days. Periodically, this 10 days turned to a month, two months and so on resulting in an unexpected six-month stay. Initially, the island was incredibly strict with a police-enforced lockdown. Trapped abroad tested the two both financially and mentally. However, the life-changing experience had a bittersweet ending as the two developed deep friendships and love for the island.
