Geocache Description:





The Swan, more commonly known as The Hatch by the survivors of Flight 815, was an underground facility on the Island built by the DHARMA Initiative during the late 1970's. It was located somewhere in the south-west region of the Island, about a mile inland from the survivors' camp.
The station was originally designed to be a laboratory where DHARMA scientists would study and manipulate the "unique electromagnetic fluctuations emanating from this sector of the Island," according to Dr. Pierre Chang (as Marvin Candle) in the Orientation film. However, after the "incident", they enacted a special protocol to prevent a potential global catastrophe. Two individuals manning the station took shifts (entering numbers into a computer) every 108 minutes. These two operators lived and work at the station, continuing this task for shifts lasting 540 days.
Namaste!
