Myst Island

Its been suggested to me before, and I think its a neat idea, that Null Island's outline be taken from the Myst Island.

Turns out @chelm already did that, but it needs a little work still: https://github.com/chelm/geodata/blob/master/nullisland.geojson

Yeah that looks good. Maybe take out the boat, and add the labeling you've already done, and it'd make a swell tshirt on redbubble.com.

I've been informed by @chelm that "You have to have the boat". I don't want to make any powerful enemies here...

Also I hadn't noticed until now that the @gnip version includes the boat...

[donpdonp]

well allrighty then... the boat can serve as a tip-off to the outline's true origin. though the size of said boat if its consistent with the rest of the island at 6400 hectares, might be um, large.

Not quite. Your island seems to be way too small. It's only 3456 square meters... It's well documented (i.e. fact) that it's 6,400 hectares... But as @donpdonp says, that'd make for a pretty big boat.

By jove, you're right -> http://www.nullisland.com/geography.html

the photo 'from the air' contradicts the myst outline, but oh well. :)

[chelm]

haha well I just grabbed it from here: http://www.aaronland.info/null-island/#18.00/0.00000/0.00000

I'm going to stop caring about this now... :)

Yours precisely matches the null.shp which @ajturner pointed me to: https://github.com/geoiq/acetate/tree/master/tiles/shp

You'll never stop caring...
