Ilheu Vermelho · 2 pics

Off the Northern coast of Madeira, there is a tiny island called Ilheo Vermelho, which looks very similar to a shark (or a dolphin, as it seemed to @seadbeady). What was my surprise when I decided to translate the name of this island from Portuguese, and found out that it just means Red Island. Red Island? Seriously? Well, it's red, that's clear... but if I had the chance, I would call this place, for example, Shark Fin Island... or Dead Stegosaurus Island... or something. Beautiful places on our planet should be given beautiful names, then, maybe Mother Nature will be more lenient to mankind. :)
