Isla Nublar
Isla Nublar is a fictional island off the coast of Costa Rica, famously known as the primary setting for the Jurassic Park franchise. Here are some key details:
- Geographical Location: Isla Nublar is said to be located 120 miles west of Costa Rica in the Pacific Ocean. Its name translates to "Cloud Island" in English.
- Ownership: The island was initially purchased by John Hammond, the founder of InGen, a company specializing in genetic engineering.
- Jurassic Park: The island was the site of the original Jurassic Park, a dinosaur theme park where cloned dinosaurs were exhibited for tourists. However, due to security failures, the park never officially opened to the public.
- Jurassic World: Years later, the island was repurposed for Jurassic World, a more advanced version of the park which did open to the public. This park also faced significant issues leading to its eventual destruction.
- Events:
- The first incident occurred in 1993 when the original park was sabotaged by a disgruntled employee, leading to the escape of dinosaurs and the eventual abandonment of the park.
- In the 2010s, Jurassic World operated successfully until a genetically modified dinosaur named Indominus rex escaped, causing havoc and leading to the park's destruction.
- Subsequent films in the franchise show the island's further deterioration due to volcanic activity and the efforts to rescue the remaining dinosaurs.
- Volcanic Activity: In the storyline of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Isla Nublar is depicted as facing an imminent volcanic eruption, leading to a mission to save the dinosaurs from extinction.
- Post-Volcanic Eruption: After the eruption, the island's status remains unclear in the narrative, but it's implied that much of its infrastructure was destroyed, and the dinosaurs were relocated to various parts of the world.
