dbo:abstract
  • The Elbow Cays (Spanish: Los Roques) are uninhabited cays in the Cay Sal Bank, Bahamas. It is the most Western point in the Bahamas. They are part of a reef shelf located at the northwestern end of the bank about 80 km (50 mi) off the Cuban coast and 130 km (80 mi) southeast of Key West, Florida. These cays are an excellent scuba diving spot. The Elbow Cays are the westernmost group on the reef, running southwest to northeast along the Straits of Florida. The southernmost cays of this group consist of unnamed islets and rocks. Northeast of these are South Elbow Cay (the westernmost named cay of Cay Sal Bank) and North Elbow Cay, the latter sometimes known just as Elbow Cay (Spanish: Cayo Codo). North Elbow Cay, which is the largest and highest of the cays, is marked by a disused conical stone lighthouse, which is 17.7 metres (58 ft) high. The site is open for visitors, but the ruined tower is accessible only by boat and reaching it is extremely hazardous. (en)
  • Elbow Cays sont un groupe de cayes inhabitées de l'atoll Cay Sal Bank, l'un des grands bancs des Bahamas. Cay Sal Bank est le territoire le plus à l'ouest des Bahamas, appartenant administrativement au district de Bimini. Ces îlots se situent à environ 80 km de la côte nord de Cuba et à 130 km au sud-est de Key West au sud de la Floride. Ils sont le groupe le plus à l'ouest de l'atoll et s'étendent le long du détroit de Floride. La plus grande et la plus haute, North Elbow Cay, est marquée par la présence de l'ancien phare de Cay Sal Bank en pierre. Le site, un spot de plongée sous-marine, est ouvert aux visiteurs, mais la tour en ruine n’est accessible que par bateau et son accès est extrêmement dangereux. (fr)
