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!
> 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.
There is definitely cursed pirates treasure on that island
What are the gps coordinates? I want to look it up on Google Maps.
Generally somewhere around here:

I notice that this area isn’t fully imaged. Just around the known existing islands.

Is this the start of a Jules Verne novel? Really though super cool
Interesting, I would normally expect small islands like this to disappear.
Would be interesting if they find more info on the satellite images they are examining.
