IIRC that runway is on two levels. The eastern half is c20' higher than the western half, all joined up with quite a 'ramp'. If you look veeeery carefully at the centreline's perspective, you can see it.
The island is solid limestone which releases waves of heat in the afternoon. Do they bury the dead vertically, above ground, in those stone edifices that you see by the road?
