Another view of Marlboro at night
Here is another night view of Marlborough's Zion Island (closer than the view here) The giant bridges are better defined by their lights, rather than during the day by sun, which cannot describe the bridges' life.

The puzzle of the Marlborogh City:
Unlike new modern types of corals that appeared in the Early Triassic and Devonian periods, the two coral atolls that are the main characteristic features of the Marlboro city archipelago are an exception due to their very young nature. It surprises many scientists that the atolls were able to achieve this degree of growth and aging within such a short time.
There are more interesting observations that are outright puzzling:
- The Silversand atoll (the smaller) has distinct volcanic subsidence characteristics, however, it has a high central peak (see Zion Island), pronounced outward radial formations (the four major islands, Dutch Fort, Goodhugh, Spade and Silversand, and eight smaller islands) and terraced patterns with submerged radial features pointing towards the center of the atoll so characteristic of Tycho-type impact craters(!) on the Moon
- the Scotch atoll has an impact crater characteristics, except that together with the Silversand atoll it lacks geological composition - no brecciated rock, no laminated or molten rocks, and no central peak
- both atolls are ellipses and their major axes have a common alignment along 15 degrees true north

The views of Marlborough's Zion Island: the day, night and sunset
The city if Marlborough is ac combination of an archipelago of scattered small islands and two atolls. In the center of one atoll there is a rocky peak that is heavily populated, which says a lot about the congestion in the city and the whole island nation in general. The Zion Island makes use of its rocky terrain, achieving rather picturesque and futuristic look.
Zion Island is linked to Java Island by a massive bridge. On Java island, as you can see in the bottom image, they built a skyblock, or a superblock, a very massive and compact high rise that houses more than four thousand people, and hudnred of shopping, service and dining establishments.
