It's not explicitly stated but it seems that this island was not charted because the area it was in had previously been full of icebergs.<p>> On the satellite images analysed, the island could hardly be distinguished from the numerous icebergs drifting around in the immediate vicinity due to its ice cover.
I assumed that satellite data would have been enough to know if something was an iceberg or land - wild that new land is still being discovered!
What are the gps coordinates? I want to look it up on Google Maps.<p>Generally somewhere around here:<p><a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/wy1PNDWcvP7h9d4j7?g_st=ic" rel="nofollow">https://maps.app.goo.gl/wy1PNDWcvP7h9d4j7?g_st=ic</a><p>I notice that this area isn’t fully imaged. Just around the known existing islands.
> the scientists and ship's crew were surprised by the sudden appearance of an island that had previously only been marked as a danger zone on the available nautical charts.<p>There is definitely cursed pirates treasure on that island
Uncharted island found. Charted.
Is this the start of a Jules Verne novel?
Really though super cool
How much would an island like that set me back?
Dibs
Interesting, I would normally expect small islands like this to disappear.<p>Would be interesting if they find more info on the satellite images they are examining.
