Description

                             SKULL ISLAND
                            --------------
  You stand on the beach of skull island ready to make your fortune. Looking
 out to sea, you see a shipwreck on the rocks of the point.
  Ahead lies jungle extending to the base of cliffs rising to form a snow 
 covered peak in the centre of the island.
  In your hand you hold a map of skull island you discovered in your 
 grandfather's sea chest. Strange, it has cryptic signs and a treasure chest.
 Strange how some people also call this Treasure Island......
