In his book, 'Experiments on Reality', the cartographer and writer Tim Robinson describes the 'three fragile moments of place' as 'beauty, strangeness and antiquity'.
I can't think of anywhere that fits the criteria so well as Skellig Michael.

Anyone in Ireland a chocolate fan?
Friend of mine’s wedding had Skelligs chocolate as the table favours. Now if we’ve got guests coming or I want a tasty treat I stock up on their stuff. They’ve started a loyalty programme so any chocolate fans wanting to try them please feel free to use my referral link: https://skelligschocolate.com/?wlr_ref=REF-V7H-JUR

Don’t think anyone expected the work on the new cable car to be finished on time, because, are they ever?
Access failures for the residents were also feared & here we are: https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster/arid-41020514.html
Worth adding, Dursey Island is also the start / end of the 4700 km E8 Walking Route which passes through Ukraine.
We had good reason to acknowledge this then & now.
Context of people, time & place.
