, once a peninsula before the ocean broke the connection with
the main land in 1962, was home to the fishing village of Sao Martinho dos
Tigres (at one time the most important fishing site of Angola).After it became
an island,the supply of fresh water was also cut, and the place has been abandoned
for over 50 years.It became a photographers paradise and one of the most exciting
