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. |
