This could be an island, but even Google Maps doesn’t have the answer

Several people online have been absolutely puzzled after spotting a strange island on Google Maps that appears to have been completely blacked out.

Honestly, there’s no wonder that some people have suggested that they might have finally found the island from the television show “Lost.”

Anyway, first thing first, it’s not an island. It appears to be an atoll.

One thing that we can be certain of is that it looks really strange.

The outside of the island — we’ll just stick with the island for now — seems to show the lighter sea, and even some waves crashing against what are presumably lovely beaches around the outside.

However, the centre of the island is completely blacked out, and we know for a fact that Google Maps do sometimes black places out that they don’t have access to, or people don’t want them to know what’s going on there.

Which — by the way — is fair enough. Not everyone wants where they live to be so readily available.

Also, there’s just a chance that it’s a quirk of the way that the programme is made. It could be that they just didn’t remember to put the middle into it.

We may well never know.

Well, whatever it may be, it looks quite interesting.
