Flag of the United States.svg
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

Late-day light, Blue Mountain, Carbon and Lehigh Counties, as seen from a hillside near Palmerton.

Note the largely denuded slopes of Blue Mountain, as well as the scrub-oak barren on the hill in the foreground. For many years, toxic metals from nearby zinc smelters degraded the local environment, destroying vegetation and helping create soil erosion.

The zinc smelters have closed; the area is now an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site, and the vegetation is recovering.
