Everything about Maraj totally explained
Marajó is an
island located at the mouth of the
Amazon River in
Brazil. It is part of the state of
Pará. With a land area of 47 573 km² (18,368 sq mi, see
List of islands by area), it's the largest island to be completely surrounded by freshwater in the world. Although its northeast coastline faces the
Atlantic Ocean, the outflow from the Amazon is so great that the sea at the mouth is quite unbriny for some distance from shore. The city of
Belém lies to the south, across the southern fork (also called the
Pará River) of the river's mouth. The island sits almost directly on the
equator.
In the
1918–
1919 outbreak of the
Spanish influenza, Marajó was the only major populated area not to have documented any cases of the illness. The island was the site of an advanced
pre-Columbian society, the
Marajoara culture.
