Marvel at Spectacular Marine Life

This beautiful island has a long history, with the lighthouse built in 1878 and staffed by lighthouse keepers until it became automated in 1993. Weather data recordings date back to 1887. Scientific associations date back to 1928 when it was the base for a year-long scientific survey studying the structure and ecology of the reef.
