Information About

Phantom Island




Some phantom islands arose through the mislocation of actual islands: for instance, Pepys Island was actually a misidentification of the Falkland Islands . California appears on some early maps as an island, but was later discovered to be attached to the mainland of North America. Others appear to have always been mythical, while a few may have been actual islands or Sand Bank s which are no longer above water.

As opposed to Phantom Islands, Lost Lands are islands or continents believed by some to have existed during Pre-history , but to have disappeared as a result of Catastrophic geological phenomena or slowly rising sea levels since the end of the last Ice Age .
