This 'fingerprint' is one of a kind

Of the 1,246 islands on Croatia's fragmented coast, the unique isle of Bavljenac might be the most identifiable. It's nicknamed 'Fingerprint Island' for its miles of dry-stone walls that look like the whorled ridges of a human fingerprint. The tiny, uninhabited landmass in the Adriatic Sea was once an agricultural center. In the 19th century—the heyday of Croatian wine production— farmers from the nearest populated island built the winding walls on Bavljenac to protect olive trees and grapevines from the winds blowing in from the Adriatic.

这种“指纹”是独一无二的

在克罗地亚支离破碎海岸上的1246个岛屿中，独一无二的巴夫勒耶纳克岛可能是最容易辨认的。它的绰号是“指纹岛”，因为它有几英里长的干石墙，看起来像是人类指纹的螺纹纹路。亚得里亚海中无人居住的小块陆地曾经是一个农业中心。19世纪是克罗地亚葡萄酒生产的全盛时期，来自最近人口稠密岛屿的农民在巴夫勒耶纳克修建了蜿蜒的城墙，以保护橄榄树和葡萄藤免受亚得里亚海吹来的风的影响。
