The features of the island are described as Rainsford is washed up on the island in thevery beginning of the story. There are jagged cliffs on the shore and a dense jungle surrounds the island; this is evident in the following description: "Dense jungle came down from the very edge of the cliffs. What perils that tangle of trees ... might hold for him...." The mansion is on a cliff near the coastline. Although, the author does not say which side of the island the mansion is on, he does say, "...on three sides of it cliffs dived down to where the sea licked greedy lips in the shadows." This is telling you that the terrain surrounding the mansion is rough and dangerous.
