Isla Pérez is an island located in the Gulf of Mexico, 130 km (80.7 mi) north of Progreso, Mexico, off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It belongs to the Arrecife Alacranes National Park, and is the largest island in the archipelago.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Arrecife Alacrán )〕〔 〕 The waters and coral reefs surrounding the island provide an important refuge for sea life and attract many fishermen to the region. The island has little vegetation, with a hot and dry climate that is not very hospitable to human life.〔 Historically the island has been used as a navigation reference point in the southern Gulf of Mexico, particularly for mariners between the Yucatan Channel and Bay of Campeche. Because of its importance to navigation, a small detachment of Mexican Navy is based there.〔 == See also == * Scorpion Reef 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Isla Pérez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
