The second day we went for a walk around the island which is about 3-4 km around. The marine teacher was explaining how the island was formed and how is it constantly changing. I also went on a walk through the island and learned about the trees and other vegetation. In the above pictures there are some bird nests in some of the trees. In the 1950's the island was used to make and process turtle soup. The crockery that you see in one of the photos is an old canning pot that was used for processing. You can still see the lines on the ocean floor where the carts took the cans of turtle soup to the mainland ready for the North American and Asian markets.
