Keep zooming out...

Good place for spiders though.

LOL wow. As cool as it would be to live in a place like that, I'll pass.

At first I was thinking it was bad due to high chance of tsumami, the noticed the other side... either die by lava or by water. Whichever comes first. The good news is, looks like that volcano erupted recently so probably not due to set off for a long time.

That too. The internet probably sucks there, if there even is any.

 

[FrustratedUser]

That's way the fuck out in the middle of nowhere.

Antarctica would be worse, or even the Arctic with the whole ice shelf coming off thing so you have no idea where your town will be in a week.

It may not be the safest location, but the land is fertile and supports life. Cities & towns has always been located where the land can support the population, such as flood plains, and volcanic valleys/bases.

 

[theblackbox]

is that the village where the others live?

 

[frostedflakes]

Lol. Anybody know the name of the island/town?

 

[Tiamat]

And, nobody would know that that town disappeared! It is in the middle of nowhere and help would take way too long to get there.

 

[rh71]

I don't get it... where's the bridge?

 

[Rockinacoustic]

I don't even see an airstrip

How old are the satellite images? It could already be gone. :Q

 

[Twista]

cool! =] They have 30mbit internet connections there

 

[biggestmuff]

That's about as bad as a city built below sea level...on a coastline.


Too soon?

It sounds like it's actually Inaccessible Island from the Wiki Page.

I came here expecting that to be the answer.

:shocked:

The current population is thought to have descended from 15 ancestors, eight males and seven females who arrived on the island at various times between 1816 and 1908

I need to see pictures of the locals.

 

[brxndxn]

No foreigner is allowed to buy land or settle there...

I say we bomb it just in case. We can put a bomb right in their volcano..
