Mysterious Island based on what real Earth place?
I saw a special recently on a place that Jules Verne supposedly used for descriptions of Mysterious Island. I can't find it googling... Does anyone know the place? I only remember that it started with an R.
Thanks

PS. I am NOT speaking of Ernest Legouve Reef. I am speaking of a remote place where there are formations with sheer cliffs and flat tops. It was a place, I believe, discovered in the 18th or 19th century.

I do not believe that the place is an island... and it's starting to come to me... something like Roraima.
... back to googling.

The special was on again this past week. It was on the Travel Channel... called "The Real Lost World"... about Roraima.
I remembered it wrong. It was the basis for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World, not Jules Verne's Mysterious Island.

Verne's L'Ile mystérieuse (The Mysterious Island, 1875) because they have undersea cities--"submerged islands"--that, according to the author, "suggest an aftermath to Twenty Thousand Leagues, since they have a kind of 'after-the-Nautilus-what' premise where events seem an outgrowth of Nemo's advanced science" (134).
I think your answer is in Twenty Thousand Leagues
