Isla Nublar

*More information on Isla Nublar on the Jurassic Park Wiki.*

Isla Nublar is an island 120 miles (190 Kilometres) of the coast of Costa Rica where Jurassic Park and Jurassic World were based.

## History

#### Before InGen

The Spanish navigator Diego Fernandez was the first European to discover the island in 1525. The naming of Isla Nublar is often credited to cartographer Nicolas de Huelva. While mapping the western coast of Costa Rica on the Spanish carrack La Estrella (The Star), de Huelva described seeing a "cloud island" ("Isla Nublar").

#### *InGen*

After John Hammond abandoned the idea of a small Jurassic Park: San Diego and Jurassic Park: Venezuela was a success, his company InGen looked for a large isolated preserve. Costa Rica agreed to lease the island to InGen.

InGen had to build two docks to easily transport supplies and workmen to the island, the East Dock. In the south the Isla Nublar Heliport was built. For an efficient distribution, a network of roads was built.

The structures for Jurassic Park were mainly built in the eastern and northern part of the island. When the Electric Fences around the paddocks were built, dinosaurs from Isla Sorna were transported to Isla Nublar.

#### 1st Nublar Incident Incident

During a tropical storm in 1993, Dennis Nedry hacked into InGen and uploaded a virus that shut down the power and unleashed the dinosaur population onto the people on the island. In the end, 4 people, including Nedry, had died and all survivors were sworn to secrecy, although Ian Malcolm went against this and tried to reveal what had happened only to become an outcast, the island was kept from the public for years, until the San Diego Incident, although some people confused the two islands as one.

#### Eyes Incident

In 1995 a InGen Company, Isla Nublar Tours started running helicopter tours of the Island.

In 1998 John and Graham Ewin were on a flight that crashed in the Acrocanthosaurus Enclosure. After the Incident John and Graham sued Isla Nublar Tours and they were closed down.

#### InGen Cleanup

In 2004, an InGen clean-up team went to the island to perform an analysis of the incident and record the current state of the island's dinosaur inhabitants. Their report, published that same year, documented the state of the park and noted that while animal numbers were reduced, a relatively stable ecosystem had been established. They also recorded they had discovered the remains of Bloodwound and the presence of Compsognathus, a species bred on Sorna but which had never been transported to Nublar (this was due to a group of criminals transporting artifacts from Isla Sorna Including Velociraptor Eggs and Compsognthuses). The dubious legal status of the island had previously ensured the Nublar population remained relatively undisturbed.

#### Jurassic World

In 2005, Simon Masrani, the new CEO of InGen following John Hammond's passing, built a new, much larger dinosaur theme park, Jurassic World, in the southern part of Isla Nublar. The park started off with 8 species of dinosaurs that possibly came from the original park, such as the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but over the years the number of species on the island grew to 20, both through cloning and transporting animals from Isla Sorna (the ecosystem of which had been irrevocably damaged by InGen Scientists illegally cloning undocumented species such as the Spinosaurus and releasing them on the island). Many of the buildings of the old park, like the Visitor's Centre, are still on the island, but are overgrown by the jungle and inaccessible to park guests.

The park opened with over 90,000 visitors in 2005 but by 2015, visitor count went to 20,000 tourists a day. The investors knew that each time the park added a new dinosaur, attendance spiked so they decided to begin creating genetically altered dinosaurs that could wow the crowds. And thus the Indominus Rex came to be. Once it was announced to the public, ticket sales and preorders skyrocketed, however, the Indominus rex eventually escaped and caused chaos all over the park, resulting in the deaths of at least 18 people, including Masrani himself, and many more were gravely injured following the escape of the Dimorphodon and Pteranodon from the Jurassic World Aviary. Although the hybrid was killed in the end, the park suffered an enormous amount of damage and was shut down, leaving the island abandoned yet again.

#### Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

The ecosystem of Isla Nublar post Jurassic World was considerably more unstable than previously, largely due to the presence of a much greater number of large carnivores on the island.

The reactivation of Mt. Sibo threatened with destroying, or at least, devastating Isla Nublar, thus endangering the surviving dinosaur population. With the eruption of the island in 2018, around half of the dinosaur species present on the island were rendered extinct with the remaining population transported to the mainland USA.
