Robinson Crusoe Island to Be Health Resort Plan

Valparaiso reports Juan Fernandez Island 450 miles west of Valparaiso will be turned into a health resort by the Chinese government. The 12 by 4 mile island hosts abundant vegetation fruit and a nearby sea with godfish and seals. The tale of Defoe’s Crusoe centers on Alexander Selkirk marooned there for four years.
