  • Around the world there are believed to be as many as 900 thousand islands that range from small rocky outcrops to wealthy, thriving communities. There’s such a huge variety that depends on how they were originally formed and their location… and, while many may be quite similar to one another, there are some that stand out as being truly unique. From one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, to manmade ones and those with vast natural resources, it’s time to take a tour of the 15 most rare islands on earth.

    You missed the most fascinating aspect of Macquarie Island. It is the only place on earth where rocks from the Earth's mantel are being exposed above sea level. In fact, this is the actual reason it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, not because of the wildlife.

    How does that diamond mine not end up flooded? You’d think being that it’s an island that they would have water coming into the mines there. I mean I know you could pump it out, but seems odd to me, can’t pump out the whole ocean worth of water that could constantly keep refilling. Obviously that’s not happening. But just seemed odd to me.

      I helped design and build Diavik. We used a water-tight cutoff wall to keep the water out. But it was challenging, because the cutoff wall was built in the lake where only the surface freezes in winter. Everything we built would become permafrost, and the cutoff wall had to work while the cutoff was still thawed, while it was freezing and then afterwards when it froze solid (today). We also used deep grouting to further reduce water inflow that might come from deep in the rock.

    It’s always disappointing when a colony of feral cats is identified somewhere and everyone gets excited, and people start feeding them because they’re cute. There’s seldom a discussion of the ecological devastation that released cats cause local species because they are very effective hunters. They are terrible for the environment. The proper thing to do would be to exterminate the whole population, like any other overrun invasive species introduced into an ecosystem. If they didn’t have fur that’s likely what would happen.

We all know about invasive species. Programmes to catch and release are in full swing in most areas. You are ignorant about Cat Island. You seem to forget humans exterminating many wild cats. Your statement of killing the whole population has me wondering about your mental health. After all aren’t humans outside of Africa an invasive species. Your ignorance on removal of cats on certain islands is amazing. On one island where the cats were removed led to a rat explosion and rats eating eggs of endangered birds.
