Island Shot

Caja de Muerto is an island south of Puerto Rico that is protected by the Federal Reserve of Natural Resourses, because of native turtle traffic. The climate is dry and desertlike, and the natural resourses are pristine. A lighthouse still works at the top of the mountain. It is called Caja de Muerto (Box of Dead) because it resembles someone lying down when seen from the main island. At the belly sits the lighthouse.
