Something else to smile about

Today the Chilean government announced they will reserve a large amount of Pacific Ocean waters around a tiny island, Sala y Gómez Island. This is great news considering less than 2 percent of the global ocean is protected. The Island is one of the most pristine places on the planet and the country is in talks to even expand the reserve in the upcoming years. Sa weet.
