A tiny abandoned atoll in the Pacific ocean that was once fought over by colonists has a lurid history full of murder, madness and bird poo.
Clipperton Island lies around 600 miles off the west coast of Mexico and today is owned by France.
It was once known as Passion Island, after French sailors came across it during the early 18th century, but its current name comes from an English pirate called John Clipperton who fought in the War of Spanish Succession.
