SACALIN ISLAND

(Redirected from Sacalinu Mare Island)
'Sacalin Island' is a newly formed island in the Black Sea, right off the coast of the Romanian Danube Delta, off the Sfântu Gheorghe branch. Initially Sacalin was made up of two smaller islands, ''Sacalinu Mare'' (Greater Sacalin) and ''Sacalinu Mic'' (Lesser Sacalin). In time, however, the two merged into one continuous landmass. The Romanian government has declared the area an ecological reserve and no settlement is permitted on the island.
