Incredible looking island found on Google maps. Make sure to zoom out to see where it's located.

It's so strange looking because nothing around it is imaged that well -- and it looks like they partially missed the island. Looking closely at it is sort of spooky, actually.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time Google Maps missed something :))

Interesting.  One relative is a missionary and sent out co-ordinates for island she is on.  Location got out on public site, and island was deleted from view.  Missionary safety is a huge concern.

Google maps has fixed some of the problems they previously had around my home.

@texastracking - I'm not, though I do use the service frequently. My new book seems to take place exclusively in Portland, OR.

and writing it in Brazil - makes sense to me!  summer in Brazil is less wet and cold than winter in Portland.

Truthfully it's a bit of a mystery to me as well.
But yes, the weather is hard to beat!

No, no, no... you can write about it better when you're removed. I think it happens a lot!
