The island's most notable features are the abandoned concrete buildings and the sea wall surrounding it.It is an island built upon a reef in the early 19th century because of a coal mine in the reefs and quickly became a densely populated island 1 km in diameter and 5300 people living packed together, working the mines. In 1974, the mine has been emptied and people living in the island have deserted it, leaving everything behind, turning the island to a post-apocalyptic movie scene.
