Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates! This is a puzzle cache, you need to solve the puzzle in order to find the coordinates to the container.

The Island that Never Sleeps

You've already been given all the information you need to solve this puzzle. (There is no data in the image to extract.) If you're struggling with it, we recommend you study similarly-named puzzles by the subject of this cache series (see below). Container is (shocker) a Nano in the woods, with a view to an island, a whole lot of water, or a dusty empty lake bed, depending upon recent weather.


Now that a couple of months have gone by, I'll leave a hint here in white text:
