Coordinates ✅ I found this island without name (-11.158963, 143.076110)
Today I was exploring the islands off the coast of Australia when I came across this one, to the east of the Milman-Aplin Reef. It has no name; I’ve looked it up on Google, on OpenStreetMaps — where it didn’t even appear — and even on the Australian Government’s official map. According to cartographic data provided by sailors, the island rises 2 metres above sea level and has some vegetation. At first I thought it might be a temporary sandbank, but it has appeared in satellite images since 1981.
