Baixo Islet

About

Baixo Islet (Ilhéu de Baixo, Lower Islet in English), also known locally as Ilhéu do Carapacho (Carapace Islet) and historically as Ilhéu dos Homiziados (Islet of the Fugitives), is a small uninhabited islet group located off the southeast coast of the island of Graciosa in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. Along with Praia Islet to its north, Baixo Islet is one of two main breeding places of Monteiro's storm petrel, an endemic marine bird of the Azores.
