I know you gave all the geology- oceanology-and-meteorology reasons why this should happen, but it still is hard to imagine a place like this up next to a seacoast. Every coast I've lived on or been on was chockful of humidity, fog, rain and low-hanging clouds. To say it's even more inhospitable than Death Valley or the Sahara makes it pretty special ... and not for good reasons. It will be interesting to keep up with the rest of your series. Love the concept!
