A sizable, uninhabited island in the South Pacific was the center of attention in Google Maps recently. It could be said it had the attention because the island was there. Sandy Island doesn't really exist but it showed up on Google Maps off the coast of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Called Sandy Island by scientists and Sable Island by others, this isle was spotted on Google Maps but it hasn't existed since 1908, according to a 1908 ocean chart. "It's on Google Earth and other maps so we went to check and there was no Island. We're really puzzled. It's quite bizarre," said geologist Maria Seton. If one is to search for this island, it would appear as a dark mass northeast of New Caledonia. If this island actually exists, it would fall in French territorial waters. So if people were to go to this island, they would more than likely find the cast of "Lost".
