'''Isla Muerta, '''also known as '''Site C''', is the second [[Jurassic World Evolution|Jurassic World]] island operation, located in the [[Muertes Archipelago]] between [[Isla Matanceros]] to the north, and [[Isla Sorna]] to the south. Although known for its pleasant sunsets, Isla Muerta is often hit by powerful storms, while the island's geography necessitates [[Monorail Station|monorails]] to connect different regions.

Progressing through Isla Muerta will unlock access to [[Isla Tacaño]] at three stars and [[Expedition Center#Upgrades|Dig Team Bravo]] at five stars. Located separately from the main area, [[Henry Wu|Dr. Henry Wu]] operates a facility at [[Muerta East]], which can be accessed through the ''[[Secrets of Dr. Wu]]'' DLC.
__TOC__
==InGen Database Description==
''Isla Muerta sits between [[Isla Matanceros]] and [[Isla Sorna]] in the Muertes Archipelago. No known InGen operations were conducted here.''
<br>
''Its name means 'death island'.''
<br>
''This is a deeply forested island, with attractive coastal regions. It is famed for the violence of its weather.''

==History==
In the 1980s, the islands of the [[Muertes Archipelago]], including Isla Muerta, were purchased from the Costa Rican government by [[InGen]], in a 99-year lease which also covered the neighbouring [[Isla Nublar]] to the east.<ref name="DPG">[http://www.dinosaurprotectiongroup.com/reports.html ''A History of Dino-ethical Misconduct'']. (February 4, 2018). Dinosaur Protection Group. Retrieved March 20, 2021.</ref> Although InGen was not known to operate a facility on Isla Muerta, Costa Rican fishermen were apprehensive about the entire island chain.<ref name="TLW">Spielberg, Steven.

==Overview==
[[File:4akjmnombl311.png|thumb|282px|A park on Isla Muerta.]]
Isla Muerta offers a larger area to build upon in comparison to [[Isla Matanceros]], although it also suffers from occasional storms capable of stressing temperamental dinosaurs such as ''[[Velociraptor]]''. When first played, the existing facility on the island has been severely damaged from a recent storm, prompting the player to use a Ranger Team to manually repair buildings and fences before building their own facility.

===Muerta East===
{{main|Muerta East}}
In addition to the main area of the island, the [[Secrets of Dr. Wu]] DLC includes a new area of the island known as [[Muerta East]], where players aid [[Henry Wu|Dr. Henry Wu]] in his research into hybrid dinosaurs. Muerta East also unlocks access to the ''[[Troodon]]'' and ''[[Olorotitan]]''.

==Trivia==
* Isla Muerta means 'dead island' rather than 'death island'. A similar error ocurred when naming [[Isla Nublar]], confusing 'nublar' (to cloud) and 'nublado' (clouded).
