Nublar

Nublar is a fictional island featured in the Jurassic Park franchise, created by Michael Crichton. The island serves as the primary setting for the original Jurassic Park novel and its subsequent film adaptations. Nublar is owned by InGen, a biotechnology company, and is designed to house genetically engineered dinosaurs for scientific research and tourism. The island is located off the coast of Costa Rica and is accessible only by a private airstrip.

The name "Nublar" is derived from the Latin word "nubis," meaning cloud, reflecting the island's cloud-covered appearance. The island is home to a diverse range of dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus rex, Velociraptor, and Triceratops. These dinosaurs were created through a process called "splicing," which involved combining DNA from different species to create new, hybrid creatures.

Nublar plays a central role in the events of Jurassic Park, as a power outage and subsequent security breach allow the dinosaurs to escape their enclosures and wreak havoc on the island. The island's inhabitants, including the park's visitors and staff, must fight for their lives against the rogue dinosaurs. The events on Nublar serve as a cautionary tale about the potential dangers of genetic engineering and the importance of responsible scientific research.
