ISLA SORNA - 1993
| We call it Site B. Originally a massive holding pen and secondary research facility for our dinosaurs. Spared no expense. |
Isla Sorna, also known as Site B, is the largest island in the Muertes Archipelago. It is unlocked through the Return to Jurassic Park DLC campaign during mission 3.
InGen Database Description[]
Isla Sorna was referred to as Site B by InGen as a production facility for cloning and engineering dinosaurs. They would later be transported to Isla Nublar for the attractions in Jurassic Park.
Its name means 'sarcasm island'.
The island forms the largest of the Muertes Archipelago, also known as Las Cincos Muertes, or the Five Deaths. It is situated 333 miles to the west of Costa Rica, and comprises of granite cliffs and dense forest.
History[]
In the mid-1980s, Isla Sorna, together with Isla Nublar and the other islands of the Muertes Archipelago, were sold to InGen by the Costa Rican government in a 99-year lease over the islands.[3] The island was purposed into a research facility and factory floor on which dinosaurs were initially cloned and matured, before being transported to the Jurassic Park facility on Nublar. The first dinosaur cloned by InGen was successfully bred on Sorna in 1986, while the first mature specimens were shipped from Sorna to Nublar in 1988.[4]
Soon after the Isla Nublar Incident in 1993, Isla Sorna was hit by the powerful Hurricane Clarissa, forcing InGen to abandon the island.
