Sandy island

Interesting.

So I plugged the image from wikipedia into error level analysis on a whim, and the islands lit up like Christmas Trees. No other features did, however. This could indicate that the islands were photoshoped onto an image of open ocean from another source... Or it could be nothing, I wont be able to tell unless I can find a comparable image and try that out.

I did however look up the islands supposed coordinates on the VGG maps, and there is rise in the gravity gradient on that exact spot on the sea floor.

Very interesting.

It's a phantom island. Basically, some explorers make mistakes in their voyages, make notes on the map saying they passed certain features, and nobody checks it. These get copied over onto new maps, but then when people do actually go to check, they find it no longer exists. Mostly happens in open ocean.

Can I just point out that your map has sydney as the entire bottom half of australia.
That's not exactly very accurate.

Its not even necessarily a mistake, sometimes explorers/cartographers will include intentionally erroneous data as a sort of copy protection. So if somebody else includes that detail in their own account or puts the island on their map the original author will know that they're just ripping them off.
