Today the government of Portugal expanded a marine protected area around the Selvagens Islands, creating the largest fully protected marine reserve in Europe at 2,677 square kilometers.
The Selvagens islands are a small archipelago in the North Atlantic located midway between Madeira and the Canary Islands.
Always wanted to visit the Savage Islands. It looks like a cold, rugged place with not a soul in sight, but it has a certain primal beauty to it.
