"Dude sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something - Jake the dog" However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? Buddha "I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any Church that I know of. My own mind is my own Church. Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all."- Thomas Paine My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government. Thomas Jefferson If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. Thomas Jefferson |

This territory should be charted through a hands-on discovery process just to ensure that the natural landscape is intact. I will volunteer to embark on this mission in 2013 if I'm granted access. |

Google Earth supposedly had it as just a blacked out blob, so no real photos of island seem to exist. Perhaps some floating secret research vessel disguised as an island? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9581681 Or maybe just a mistake that was copied over and over? Or, as the article states: "While some map makers intentionally include phantom streets to deter copyright infringements, that was not standard practice with nautical charts, said Mr Prince." But maybe in this case, it was practiced? Don't know. |

What the heck???? I checked Google...and that was a good size island! How could it just disappear? Also wondering why it is completely blacked out? I'm sure there were things going on there we are never to know about.
