Carvel Rock (United States Virgin Islands)

Uninhabited islet of the US Virgin Islands From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carvel Rock (sometimes spelled Carval Rock[1]) is an uninhabited islet of the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, less than 2 acres (8,100 square metres) in size. It is visited by boats as a scuba diving site, but its sheer cliffs and lack of a beach mean that landing would be practically impossible.[2]
