Hell is a group of short, black, limestone formations
located in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands .
Located in West Bay , it is roughly the size of half a
soccer field. Visitors are not permitted to walk on the limestone formations
but viewing platforms are provided. There are numerous versions of how Hell
received its name, but they are generally variations on "a ministration
exclaimed, 'This is what Hell must look like.' It is also claimed that the name
"Hell" is derived from the fact that if a pebble is thrown out into
the formation, it echoes amongst the limestone peaks and valleys and sounds as
if the pebble is falling all the way down to "Hell." Regardless of how it first came to be called
Hell, the name stuck and the area has become a tourist attraction, featuring a
fire-engine red hell-themed post office from which you can send "postcards
from hell", and a gift shop with 'Satan' Ivan Farrington passing out
souvenirs while greeting people with phrases like 'How the hell are you?' and
'Where the hell are you from? Ironically, some of the stores in the area
feature prominent quotations from the Bible on their sides. This is due to the
pious and religious nature of Caymanian society
