atlantic islands

Rhode Island (1). But there was very little time to think about other options ;-)

sorry. had to put that one on the 'best onepointers'-thread.

Rhode Island, U.S.A.? If so, Rhode Island is not an island.

There is an island whose name is Rhode Island. It's the largest island in the state of Rhode Island.

Now i trust Wiki again!

I stand corrected. Wiki is right

Atlantis (2)

But was Atlantis an island or a continent? Or if Atlantis was Crete, then it was in the Mediterranean, not the Atlantic.

If Atlantis was Crete, then the ocean is named wrongly, but Altantis is still Atlantic.

MarleysGhost: According to your link "There had been a powerful empire located to the west of the "Pillars of Hercules" (what we now call the Straight of Gibraltar) on an island in the Atlantic Ocean."

ypercube, do you have a theory for why only 2 people listed Atlantis?

me and you ypercube, atlantis

I had mentioned Alantis in the other thread as a joke, only.

However, I am quite disconcerted that is was only

me to come up with St. Mayen.

It is such a beautiful place

(eastern of greenland, above iceland).
