Just outside of Mortorio island (at 0,5 NM from Mortorio island) is the rock Mortoriotto, 77 m high, formed by two blocks of granite, the outermost, characterized by the presence of a fire.
The bottom descends to debris at several levels, at 40 m, scattered rocks and coral reef formations. The upper part of the relief is characterized by the channel that separates the two rocks emerging.
