For example, the Chonte palm tree and the Nalk tree, as well as a variety of ferns and flowers that do not grow anywhere else on the planet. The island's land is incredibly fertile, and streams of crystal clearness flow throughout the island. In coastal waters, you can find turtles, sea lions, lobsters, seals and a variety of diverse fish. I think this island is really unique.]]> 2018-04-10 19:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250468227 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250760369 On Robinson Crusoe island in the book were storms. The weather there was constant, but on real island it was very different. In  morning the weather warm and calm, so Robinson could walk on the beach. On Christmas day was raining. Climate on Robinson Crusoes island was favorable for growing different plants, like corn and others. It's really windy on the real island. Recently tornado was there. But in our time island is pretty calm. But about the book you can not find information on the Internet, so here's a short analysis. To know the climate on the island where Robinson Crusoe lived, we need to learn the information presented in the third chapter "My Diary". Namely - seasonal entries in the diary. Robinson wrote:"October 1st, 1659  Every morning I wake up when I hear the birds singing. I have a breakfast of fruit and coconut milk... ""December 25th, 1659 It's Christmas day and it's raining..." "May 14th, 1660 ... I fish when I want, in my garden I have rice and corn, and the island has fruit, cocoa trees and sugar plants... "It's already October, and the birds are still singing in the trees and are not going anywhere. We conclude that there are not migratory birds on the island, but sedentary birds. Their natural environment is a tropical and subtropical climate. The described fruits can also grow in these two climates. However, on December 25th, it is written that it was raining. In the tropics, winter is dry with occasional precipitation. In the subtropics, the winter is humid. So the island on which Robinson is stuck is located in the subtropics with warm winters and constant nature.]]> 2018-04-11 15:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250760369 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250829312 Whilst there is a large variety of birds and insects on Robinson Crusoe Island, there is in fact only one non-introduced mammal to be found there, the Juan Fernández Fur Seal. Domestic animals such as goats and rabbits were introduced to the island but represent a threat to the local wildlife by grazing on endangered native plants. ]]> 2018-04-11 17:13:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250829312 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250832774 Juan Fernández Firecrown - This red hummingbird is found solely on Robinson Crusoe island and is critically endangered. Males are about 12cm long and cinnamon in colour with dark wings, a metallic red crown and a thin, needle-like black beak. Females are completely different with a green back, a blue-green crown and a white belly. ]]> 2018-04-11 17:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250832774 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250835651 Magellanic Penguin - This medium-sized penguin. Adult Magellanic penguins have white stomachs and black backs and a characteristic double black band under the chin. The waters around the island are rich in the cuttlefish, sardines, krill, squid and other crustaceans that form the bulk of the penguin’s diet.]]> 2018-04-11 17:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250835651 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250836900 Juan Fernández Fur Seal - The Juan Fernández Fur Seal holds the title of being the only non-introduced mammal found on the island. It was thought to be extinct for a time due to being hunted aggressively for its fur during the 16th century. However a remaining population of 200 individuals was re-discovered and then protected, and there are now as many as 10,000 animals on and around the island. These seals are generally dark brown to black in colour but may also have a covering of longer hairs with yellow or tan tips.]]> 2018-04-11 17:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250836900 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/250839026 Masafuera Rayadito - This small brown bird is another of Robinson Crusoe Islands endemic species. It lives in humid mountain scrub, amongst tree ferns and other native plants, high up on the island at elevations above 800 metres. It is most often observed in pairs, foraging through leaf litter in the woods for insects. It nests in small cavities in the rock anywhere above 1,200 metres.

Most of these plant species are met only on Robinson Crusoe Island. 79 species are native - but met elsewhere as well. And a huge lot - some 260 species - are introduced by man. 
 Unique in the world is forest on Robinson Crusoe Island - all tree species (some 20) of this small forest are endemic - growing ONLY in this forest.

A destiny far away from the busy life in the cities and filled with places to explore.
For those who have more experience practicing trekking there are two fairly unknown routes that lead to different rocks from where you can get a unique view of the island's landscape; hill Centinela and the French pier.
Another popular activity on the island is underwater exploration. A unique variety of underwater nature, which does not require any special training or deepens due to the clarity of its water.
The island also attracts tourists interested in history and culture. After the Battle of Rancagua in 1814, the island was used as a prison, known as the the Patriots’ Cave, which is currently considered a National Historical Monument.]]> 2018-04-26 10:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/255568942 https://padlet.com/dfktynbyfufnfkmcrfz/d8ok3z5igyp3/wish/255899865
