The setting for "The Most Dangerous Game" is an island. The island is called "Ship-Trap Island," and General Zaroff lives on the island in order to pursue hunting his favorite game animal: humans.
In the first sentence of the story, the island is described as "large." A bit later, Whitney describes the island as "God-forsaken."
Obviously, an island will have a shore. Readers are specifically told this island's shore is "rocky."
The island is a tropical island with a jungle. When Rainsford first arrives at the island, he describes the jungle as "dense."
Rainsford eventually makes his way to Zaroff's home. Rainsford describes the gate to the house as "tall" and "spiked." The door to Zaroff's home is "massive." The steps to it are "stone" steps, and the door knocker is "heavy."
Rainsford hides from Zaroff in a tree at one point. The tree limbs are "broad."
