So it is in Iceland? I was thinking Iceland was farther west.

Iceland is further west. But both are still good guesses - it's between them.

Ugh, I don't know my islands in this part of the world, so these are random guesses. Is it in the Shetlands?

I'm afraid I can't do much better than guess island groups in the general neighborhood, without checking a map. The Orkneys?

No. It is a difficult one - you can use Mappoint for a rough location if you like. I've just checked, and it doesn't show it on the map. Although it does take you there if you search for it by name!

Aye, is this a small island containing nothing but a military base?

OK, I never would have gotten that one on my own. . .

I'll not say anything for a bit, in case someone else wants to have at it.

So provide gentle hints pushing people in the right direction? Sure, I can do that. I do have to sleep though, it's almost 11 PM here and I haven't been nocturnal lately :P

Google Earth shows a great big blue patch of nothing, so that's my guess.

I'll be away for about a month - I only post when I'm on night shift and my next one is then. (I'll be in Italy instead of my next rota'd set of nights.) I'll visit occasionally from the gym, but it will be sporadic.

It's not nothing, it's the Atlantic! However, there is something at that location.

Well, if it's not something man-made, then the only logical conclusion is an extremely tiny island that is too small to show up on Google Earth. But since I used resources, albeit fruitlessly, I'm probably disqualified.

It is a tiny island. It does have a name, and a story.

I got it. The coral growth on the Lusitannia has finally broken the surface making a new coral island.

Is it that one man made island that wants to be declared a country?
In my hands I hold a candle whose flame is small to see, And if I give but one light to you my life is filled for me.
But...In your hands you hold a torch for many eyes to see, So hold it high that they may light their candlewicks from thee.

One of them there oil drilling rigs? AS opposed to one of them elsewhere oil drilling rigs.

This island belongs to the UK. I'm not aware of an independence movement on the island (or any other kind of human movement).
