		With a volcanic crater fed by a fresh water lake (Lake Mazufin) that irrigates all its slopes, Annobon had a dense and lush vegetation.
		The few remaining inhabitants in Annobon, left to their fate, were condemned to total abandonment and deprived of communication with the rest of the Republic and the outside world.
