The+Island

= =

= The Island = The Island is located in the Pacific Ocean. We believe it has a similar climate to many other Pacific Islands of a similar lattitude - tropical to sub-tropical. It is uninhabited. Geologically it is a young island, with largely volcanic soils. The soil in the valleys and plains is very fertile, but not deep. At this point it is not clear yet what mineral deposits may exist both on the island and in the surrounding seas. Early analysis of the geological surveys that are still being conducted suggest that oil deposits may exist just offshore. There may be other minerals that could be exploited.

The west coast of the Island is very windy, and received the highest rainfall judging by the lushness of the vegation. The central to western part of the Island is somewhat drier suggesting a rainshadow effect may exist from the mountains in the west.
