Shit islands 3

But the Guano Islands were not always a mere tourist attraction - they were the main income source for Peru, and a reason for war. In the 18th and 19th century, the guano would be collected and exported as fertilizer. Nowadays, only once in eight years the shit is taken off the islands, and we were in year four after the last cleaning... you can imagine the rest.
