Description   

Selvagems Island is a nature reserve at the southernmost point of Portugal - 160 nautical miles south of Madeira, and 120 miles north of the canary islands

It's unique location, and the absence of tourism and inhabitants, makes it very interesting for scientists. At the time we dropped the cache we met two scientists from Germany, who observed beetles only existing in this place, staying there for about four weeks. Another area of investigation is a special kind of seagulls in this place

In order to visit this place you need to register with the 'Servicio de Parque Natural da Madeira' and receive a credential number. This number needs to be communicated to the Nature Wardens that stay on the island, and enjoy a walk with them.

In order to log the cache, provide me the sentence that is written in the lid of the container
