Mea Geo is a prominent coastal feature located on the Shetland Islands, an archipelago in the North Atlantic Ocean. Specifically, it is a headland or point that juts out into the sea, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Mea Geo is situated on the west coast of the main island, known as Mainland, and is recognized for its rugged cliffs and dramatic scenery.

The headland is characterized by its steep cliffs, which reach heights of up to 100 meters (328 feet) above sea level. These cliffs are composed of sedimentary rocks, such as sandstone and shale, which have been shaped and eroded by the relentless force of the ocean. The result is a striking geological formation that showcases the power and beauty of nature.

Mea Geo is also home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The cliff faces provide nesting sites for various seabirds, including puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes. In addition, the surrounding coastal waters are teeming with marine life, making it a popular spot for fishing and wildlife watching.

For visitors, Mea Geo offers a chance to experience the untamed beauty of the Shetland Islands. The headland can be accessed via a walking trail that winds along the coastline, allowing hikers to take in the awe-inspiring views and immerse themselves in the natural surroundings. Whether it's the rugged cliffs, the crashing waves, or the abundant wildlife, Mea Geo is a must-see destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.
