On a sunny day in February, three cheerleaders for a local college stand outside the school's admissions building, waiting until it is time to leave for an away basketball game.

Professor Gerald Wilson explains to his History 91 class each year what he considers to be three important "graduation requirements" that each student should fulfill. One of these is to visit "the sheer, raw beauty" of North Carolina's Outer Banks. From a map, the Outer Banks appear to be a long island shield of protection for the North Carolina mainland. Even the term "barrier island," of which the Outer Banks are a prime example, gives the island the perceived traits of immense strength. Although they do shield the mainland from tides and winds, the Outer Banks are far from the permanent, massive shield that they would appear to be. They were formed during the last Ice Age- not from the rock that composes the base of standard islands, but from sand dunes on the edge of the North Carolina shore that were flooded by the rising tides. Today, they remain large, partly-submerged piles of sand, with just enough height to sustain vital plant life. This vegetation slows the eroding effects of the tides and winds that continue to cut new inlets into the soft island sands and move the islands in a westerly direction each year.
