The Needle is a narrow, sharply rising rock pillar that juts out of the landscape like a natural tower.
The Prison, on the other hand, is a more massive rock formation with steep walls, reminiscent of a fortress or a prison.
Both were formed by landslides and erosion and are among the island's most impressive landforms. They are popular destinations for hikers and photographers today.
