Ytényezks

Ytényezks is a small, uninhabited island located in the Caribbean Sea, approximately 100 kilometers east of the island of Cuba. The island is part of the Ytényezks Archipelago, which also includes several smaller islets and rocks. Ytényezks is notable for its unique geological features, including a large salt dome that forms a distinctive peak in the center of the island. This geological formation is a result of the island's geology, which is characterized by a thick layer of salt deposits.

The island is primarily composed of limestone and salt, with a flat, low-lying topography. The salt dome is the highest point on the island, reaching approximately 50 meters above sea level. The island's coastline is characterized by shallow waters and extensive coral reefs, which support a diverse marine ecosystem.

Ytényezks is uninhabited and has no known human settlements. However, it is a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts due to its unique biodiversity. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including several endemic and migratory birds. The island's remote location and pristine environment make it an important site for conservation efforts.

The island is also of interest to geologists and scientists studying salt domes and their formation. The unique geological features of Ytényezks provide a natural laboratory for studying the processes that create and shape salt domes. The island's remote location and lack of human disturbance make it an ideal site for such studies.

Despite its remote location, Ytényezks is not completely isolated. It is part of the Ytényezks Archipelago, which is located within the Ytényezks Marine Protected Area. This marine protected area is a designated conservation zone that aims to protect the island's unique marine ecosystem and support sustainable tourism. The island is also part of the Ytényezks Biosphere Reserve, which is a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve that aims to promote sustainable development and conservation in the region.
