Fernando de Noronha may be a compact little island, but there's plenty of room for running and jogging. And what scenery! Renê de Araújo helps organises one of the most popular races around the island.

For 17 years, Thania Brito has been presenting one of the island's leading radio shows, entertaining and informing tourists and residents.

Torchbearer and veteran scuba diver Leonardo Veras has found a way of getting up and close personal with the sharks that inhabit the waters around Fernando de Noronha. He's also founded the local shark museum.

Brazil is blessed with some pretty awesome beaches. Even by Brazilian standards, the coastline of Fernando de Noronha is exceptional. Not a bad place for the torch relay to spend a Sunday afternoon.

There's only one proper way to get around Fernando de Noronha in style: the beach buggy. The torch took a ride in a multi-coloured convoy this Sunday, spreading the Olympic love all around this chilled out island haven.

A lovely surprise to start the morning of the Olympic Torch Relay: more than 50 dolphins accompanied our boat, where marine biologist and environmentalist Zaira Matheus was carrying the flame.

Our first torchbearer today is Gilvânio da Silva, an island native who is very active in conservation projects such as Projeto Tamar, which protects the precious sea turtle of these waters.

On Sunday, the Olympic Torch Relay makes its way to the stunning island paradise of Fernando de Noronha, over an hour's flight from Natal. A day in this mysterious Atlantic archipelago promises spectacular images of both land and sea.
