Ilhéus da Madalena

Portugal

The Madalena Islets (Portuguese: Ilhéus da Madalena) are two uninhabited islets located in the Faial-Pico Channel about 0.5 nautical miles (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) away from Madalena harbor, off the coast of the island of Pico in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. The islets are also visible from Horta, Faial, and from the ferries which travel regularly between Horta and Madalena. Locally, the shorter of the two islets is known as Ilhéu Deitado ("Lying Down" Islet), while the taller islet is known as Ilhéu em Pé ("Standing Up" Islet).
