The mysterious island on Google Earth does not exist
The large sized ghost island on Coral Sea is named Sandy Island on Google Earth and Google maps are somewhere between Australia and New Caledonia in France.
A "ghost" island is defined on Google Earth and some world maps do not exist in reality. This conclusion was made by Australian scientists after searching for this mysterious land in a geological expedition.
The large sized ghost island on Coral Sea is named Sandy Island on Google Earth and Google maps are somewhere between Australia and New Caledonia in France.
The Times world map also shows the island of Sable Island. Climate maps are made by the Southern Surveyor, an Australian maritime research unit, also said the island existed, according to Dr. Maria Seton.

"But when the Southern Surveyor, whose task was to identify the lands that emerged in Oceania due to geological fluctuations, came to the place where there should be an island, they saw nothing."
We wanted to check because the navigation charts on the ship showed a very deep water area in that area, 1,400 meters, Ms Seton, of the University of Sydney, told AFP after a 25-day journey.
'It is on Google Earth and other maps so we want to test it and see there is no island there. We are quite confused. It is strange. Why is it included in the map? We do not know, but we will find out ".
News about the unreal island caused controversy on social networking sites. Twitter users Charlie Loyd pointed out that Sandy Island is also available on Yahoo Maps and Bing Maps, 'but nearly disappeared'.
On the website www.abovetopsecret.com, discussions were heated when a member said he had confirmed with the French meteorological office that this was a ghost island since 1979.
Another person said: 'Many map makers intentionally make no serious mistakes but are not clear on their maps to know when someone steals their information.'
Google has yet to comment, but the Google Maps director in Australia and New Zealand told the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper that they use a variety of sources, both authorities and commerce, to build the application.
'The world is a place of constant change, and updating changes is a never-ending process,' Nabil Naghdy said. The closest territory to the island is Chesterfields, an uninhabited French archipelago.
