[Earthview Wonders] No.1171: Key Largo🇺🇸

Key Largo is an island in the upper Florida Keys archipelago and is the largest section of the Keys, at 53km long. It is one of the northernmost of the Florida Keys in Monroe County, and the northernmost of the Keys connected by U.S. Highway 1 (the Overseas Highway). Key Largo is a popular tourist destination and calls itself the “Diving Capital of the World” because the living coral reef a few miles offshore attracts thousands of scuba divers and sport-fishing enthusiasts. The island of Key Largo is an exposed, fossilized remnant of a coral reef formed during a period of higher sea level and then uncovered and eroded during a subsequent ice age.

The December sunset of the Key Largo on the ground is as follows.
