Split
The Split is narrow waterway that divides the island in two. The split was first created by Hurricane Hattie in 1961 which split the island, but it was only a foot deep and as people started getting bigger boats on the island they decided to dredge it out to roughly 20 feet deep so the larger boats could pass. On one side of the split lies the main town and all of the population, and The Forest Reserve covers the Northern 100 acres of the island. |

The hole is almost perfectly circular, over 1,000 feet across and 400 feet deep. It was formed as a limestone cave system during the last ice age when sea levels were much lower. As the ocean began to rise again the caves flooded, and the roof collapsed. |
