A cardinal mark is a sea mark (a buoy or other floating or fixed structure) used in maritime pilotage to indicate the position of a hazard and the direction of safe water.
On top of the island Alev Adası (Island of the Flame) sits a west cardinal mark, warning ships and boats of the shoals and various rocks to the east and the north of the island (there is a north cardinal buoy nearby as well). Several wrecks indicate that not all ships payed due attention to this nautical warning.
