ALLIGATOR REEF
Verenigde Staten, Florida
Alligator Reef is one of the largest reef systems in the Upper Keys, with an estimated five hundred different animal species. The reef was once formed itself around the wreckage of the USS Alligator. A ship from 1820 that went under during a mission in 1825. More than two stone hips aren't left of the USS Alligator. The reef, on the other hand, is brilliant.
