Description of mountain:
Palagruža is an archipelago in the southern Adriatic Sea. The island is the most remote from the Croatian coast and closer to Italy. The archipelago consists of two larger islands (Vela and Mala Palagruža) and several smaller islets and reefs. The nearby Galijula island is also interesting but difficult to access due to numerous underwater reefs. Galijula is also Croatia's southernmost point. Vela Palagruža is approximately 1.4 km long and up to 300 m wide. It has a lighthouse on top, built in the 19th century. A meteorological station is located at the island's highest point. A cargo cable car leads to the lighthouse. The island also features a helipad, an antenna, and a small cave. A lighthouse keeper and a meteorologist reside there. The island is hard to reach and thus rarely visited.
