Robben Island


Robben Island is an island in Table Bay, 6.9 km west of the coast of Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, South Africa. The name is Dutch for "seal island". Robben Island is roughly oval in shape, 3.3 km long north-south, and 1.9 km wide, with an area of 5.07 km².  It is flat and only a few metres above sea level, as a result of an ancient erosion event.


Nobel Laureate and former President of South Africa Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island for 18 of the 27 years he served behind bars before the fall of apartheid.

As a memento to Nelson Mandela I've created a virtual puzzle for you to play in the folder "Projects": 


Here is another example of a virtual jigsaw puzzle depicting Robben Island. The format is different from the one on my website. If you are interested in this version please contact me:
