	Cargados Carajos Information
		Cargados Carajos Shoals (also known as the Saint Brandon Rocks) are a group of about 16 small islands and islets on an extended reef in the Indian Ocean northeast of Mauritius.
		In the past, Cargados Carajos was large, volcanic island (part of th Mascarenes, caused by the Réunion hotspot).
		This reference is most commonly used when the user wants to refer a derided subject to hell, as in "¡Vete al Carajo!" (In the Castillian Spanish spoken in Spain, the word "carajo" has a phallic connotation, which was lost in its mutation into Puerto Rican Spanish).

	Mascarene Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mascarene Islands (or Mascarenhas Archipelago) is a group of islands in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar, which includes Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, and Cargados Carajos shoals.
		The northern part of the plateau, including the Seychelles, is formed of granite, and is a fragment of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana.
		Limestone banks found on the plateau are the remnants of coral reefs, indicating that the plateau was a succession of islands.

		The Cargados Carajos Shoals (sometimes referred to as the Saint Brandon Shoals or Islets), is a large, mostly submerged, carbonate platform located 395 km northeast of Mauritius (see panoramic image).
		The far northern end of the Cargados Carajos shoals are flanked by the two outlying islands of Siren Island and North Island.

		It extends approximately 2,000 km between Seychelles (a remnant of the super-continent Gondwanaland – not volcanic) and Mauritius, covering an area of 115,000 km2 of shallow water banks with depths ranging from 8 m to 150 m on the plateaux, plunging to abyssal depths of 4000 m at its edges.
		To the south the small archipelago of St Brandon (Cargados Carajos), north of which the larger fully submerged Nazereth and the Saya de Malha Banks can be found.
		The other island dependencies of Mauritius include, Rodrigues 600 km to the east, St Brandon (Cargados Carajos) 460 km to north east and Agalega 1200 km to the north.

	Dispersal of the Genus Phelsuma in the Mascarenes
		This process started 64 Ma, after the separation of the Mascarene Plateau and India, about 35 Ma the Saya de Malha bank was formed, later the Nazareth bank and the Cargados Carajos Shoals (Saint Brandon).
		The young age of Mauritius does not suspect this, meaning that the ancestor of the Mascarene forms probably used the islands of the Nazareth bank and the Cargados Carajos Shoals as stepping stones to colonize in a later stage Mauritius.
		The Mascarenes were probably colonized from the more northern Nazareth bank (now submerged) and Cargados Carajos Islands.

	Mascarene Plateau at AllExperts
		The southern part of the plateau, including the Saya de Malha Bank, Nazareth Bank, the Cargados Carajos Shoals (Saint Brandon), and the mountainous islands of Mauritius, RÃ©union, and Rodrigues, were formed by the RÃ©union hotspot.
		The banks and shoals were once volcanic islands much like Mauritius and RÃ©union, which have now sunk or eroded to below sea level, or, in the case of the Cargados Carajos, to low coral islands.
		Limestone banks found on the plateau are the remnants of coral reefs, indicating that the plateau was a succession of islands.

		The Mascarene Islands (or Mascarenhas Archipelago) is a group of islands in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar comprising Mauritius, RÃ©union, Rodrigues, Cargados Carajos shoals, plus the former islands of the Saya de Malha, Nazareth and Soudan banks.
		Had the erosion not taken place, Cargados Carajos would have been a large volcanic island, and the Mascarenes would have been an archipelago of seven or more (counting Saya De Malha, Nazareth and Soudan) large, populated islands, rather than the three (Mauritius, Reunion, Rodrigues) that remain today.
		The southern part of the plateau, including the Saya de Malha Bank, Nazareth Bank, Soudan Banks and Cargados Carajos Shoals (Saint Brandon) (then one large island), was formed by the RÃ©union hotspot.
