Comments

As of August, 2009, on Google Earth, looking down at the exact coordinates [and the Wikipedia entry marker] of this island from the lowly altitude of '3m'......one still sees only the Wikipedia marker. Since most people can pretty easily see a one-króna coin from 3m, one can surmise that either 1) Google Earth is mistaken 2)The grand island of Kolbeinsey is alive and well but is smaller now than the size of a 1-króna coin, or 3) the island has VANISHED! You make the call. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.18.60.65 (talk) 19:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC) Maybe Google Earth looked at the spot during high tide. Also check out Tom Scott's channel video on the same day of your comment. OR maybe YOU are Tom Scott? --Twixter (talk) 01:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does it still exist?

In the article, it says the island is predicted to disappear sometime in 2020. So does it still exist, or has it been eroded away? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.64.104.55 (talk) 16:59, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Scott just uploaded a video about the island. And yes, it's still there, though there is not much left. --Voyager (talk) 15:11, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Given the timeline of this I'm going to assume that the person who asked is Tom Scott Jedi Master Bra'tac (talk) 15:38, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That seems likely. Is there any more from his video (other than the conclusion) we could include that's useful for the article? 217.19.26.255 (talk) 16:12, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually almost certainly not him. The IP points to Illinois, and one of its two previous edits includes "69420" (which was 4 years ago, so to be fair, could mean that it's not a static IP, but still). Likely just someone who came across the same tweet as he did emily apocalypse 16:37, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Better Photo I don't know how wikipedia works?

The current fair use photo crop from the video is redundant as this better photo is now out on twitter and he says he's making it public domain https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1295407594601959424/photo/1 --92.24.149.123 (talk) 17:16, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I see it was added --92.24.149.123 (talk) 17:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded the fair use photo crop since I didn't see the tweet. Glad to see a CC alt was found. Harmonia per misericordia. OmegaFallon (talk) 18:21, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
