Bermuda    

Scientist believe the hook shaped island was part of the lip of a now dormant volcano. The island is an atoll and is surrounded by coral reefs.

 

However there beautiful coral reefs had a darker side, one which threatened seaman and pirate alike. They were commonly referred to as the Isle of the Devils.

 

 

Named by a Spaniard Juan de Bermudez (hmm name sounds familiar). In 1609 A British ship was blown ashore and settlement started.

 

Now it is known as the popular tourist destination with beautiful coral reefs.
