Geocache Description:


 

A Macaronésia é composta por quatro arquipélagos:Açores, (República Portuguesa)Madeira,  (República Portuguesa)Canárias, (Reino de Espanha)Cabo Verde, (República de Cabo Verde)  O nome Macaronesia é originário do grego (μακάρων = feliz, afortunado; e νῆσοι = ilhas) para "ilhas abençoadas" ou "ilhas afortunadas", termo utilizado pelos antigos geógrafos para as ilhas a oeste do estreito de Gibraltar.

 

Macaronesia consists of several archipelagos; namely North to South: Azores (Portugal)Madeira Islands (Portugal Canary Islands (Spain)Cape Verde Islands (Cape Verde) The name Macaronesia, (which is occasionally misspelled "Macronesia" in analogy with Micronesia) is derived from the Greek words for "islands of the fortunate" μακάρων νῆσοι makárōn nêsoi, a term used by Ancient Greek geographers for islands to the west of the Straits of Gibraltar.
