geography
The artificial island is the smallest island in the San Bernardo Archipelago and is located in the northwest of the archipelago between the two largest islands of the archipelago, 345 meters southwest of Tintinpán and a good one kilometer northeast of Múcura .
It is only about 1.2 hectares in size and completely built over. Over 1,200 people live in almost 100 buildings. This makes it the most densely populated island on earth, the arithmetical population density is a little over 100,000 inhabitants per square kilometer. The reason for the extremely high population density is the massive number of mosquitoes on the neighboring islands, which is why the local residents moved to Santa Cruz del Islote.
