Conception Island, Bahamas

Conception Island is an islet located in the Bahamas. It is and reaches above sea level. It is an important rookery for nesting seabirds and hatching site for green turtles. It is uninhabited and protected as part of the Conception Island National Park.
In 2015, a species of boa called the Conception Bank silver boa was found to occur here; the new species is endemic to Conception as well as its satellite islets.
Writers such as Rupert Gould and Steven Mitchell have proposed the theory that Conception might be Guanahani, the island where Christopher Columbus made his first landfall in the Americas on October 12, 1492; but evidence in the debate about the identity of Guanahani is inconclusive.
