Volcanic in origin, Torlen was formed {{circa}} 11.5 million years ago. Its volcanic origin is still visible by way of a number of hot springs, although the island is not otherwise considered volcanically active. The island was not truly permanently inhabited until the antiquity, owing in part to its remote nature and in part to the nature of [[Levantine Hurricane]]s battering the low-lying island, literally washing away nascent civilizations. | |||
