Isla Nublar (movie canon)

"InGen is ruining the island!"

- Nima Cruz

Isla Nublar is a remote island about 120 miles (190 km) off the west coast of Costa Rica, which is 87 miles away from Isla Sorna.

The island was intended to to be the site of Jurassic Park after John Hammond abandoned the idea of Jurassic Park San Diego. It was to be a tourist attraction featuring living biological dinosaurs cloned from pre-historic DNA. The park was controlled from the Visitor Center. The sequence of disasters that led to the closing of Jurassic Park is nicknamed the Isla Nublar Incident.

The island was ultimately destroyed during the Costa Rica Napalm Bombing; hence, Ludlow's statement in a deleted scene in the second Jurassic Park film that all biological life on Isla Nublar had been eliminated.

There are steam vents in many places, and the ground is often hot underfoot. Because of this, and also because of prevailing currents, Isla Nublar lies in a foggy area. Isla Nublar has a similar shape to the continent of South America according to the Tour the Island map. However, in the films you can see the geographic shape of Isla Nublar on the computer screens that have a somewhat different shape.
