This may be where the New World began. For some years, it has been believed that Christopher Columbus left his first footprints in the Western Hemisphere here, although some scholars strongly dispute this. The easternmost island in the Bahamian archipelago, San Salvador lies 322km (200 miles) southeast of Nassau. Much of its 163 sq. km (64 sq. miles) in total area is occupied by water. There are 28 landlocked lakes on the island, the largest of which is 19km (12 miles) long and serves as the principal route of transportation for most of the island's population of 1,200. A badly maintained 64km (40-mile) road circles the perimeter of San Salvador.
