Island Santa Cruz del Islote in the Caribbean is the most crowded place on Earth

The island of Santa Cruz del Islote in the Caribbean, is the most crowded place on Earth – discovered hardly 150-years ago, it is more densely populated than Manhattan. It has a population of 1,200 who inhabit a lump of rock and its area is just 0.012 square kilometers.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 24 July 2015.

The island is a two-hour boat trip from Cartagena, Colombia and was discovered just 150 years ago by a group of passing fisherman - the tiny island) is situated in the archipelago of San Bernardo.
It is an island which is like paradise - there are no mosquitos, no doctors, and no cemetery - the dead are buried on a nearby island. There is a single generator that runs for just five hours per day. Of course, there is no running water because the Colombian Navy delivers drinking water to the island every three weeks.
The only service that it provides is that of a lone security guard stationed at the island's school that boasts of 80 children. As per law, there must be a guard for every school in the country.
