Sandy Island (sometimes labelled in French Île de Sable, and in Spanish Isla Arenosa) is a non-existent island that was charted for over a century as being located near the French territory of New Caledonia between the Chesterfield Islands and Nereus Reef in the eastern Coral Sea.[1] The island was included on many maps and nautical charts from as early as the late 19th century. It was removed from French hydrographic charts in 1974. The island gained wide media and public attention in November 2012 when the R/V Southern Surveyor, an Australian research ship[2], passed through the area and "undiscovered" it. The island was quickly removed from many maps and data sets, including those of the National Geographic Society and Google Maps.[3] The island never existed. Mystery solved.

[@nastassjafickosoklic6485]

[@whitewave6269]

Nastassja Ficko Soklic this show is based upon aerial views - not maps. What was seen there & then pixilated then if not the island purported to be there by a professional cartographer? 🌊

[@nastassjafickosoklic6485]

The island itself NEVER EXISTED. The cartographer was clearly not a professional if he charted something that does not exist. Also, it was removed from the French hydrographic charts 44 years ago in 1974.

[@whitewave6269]

Nastassja Ficko Soklic many claimed it was there since Captain Cook - who was not just 'some cartographer'. The research team went out not because of the map - like some radio transmission guys did in 2000 - but due to the pixilated image of the island known to be there on google earth. Hence why its predominantly dubbed mystery vs mistake. Here's a site with a list of other instances: mysteriousuniverse.org/2016/06/mysterious-islands-that-vanished-without-a-trace/ 🌊

if it was blacked out on the sat map, id wager they also "adjusted" its position/coordinates so no one could just venture out on a boat and see for themselves. realize that using GPS to confirm ones location is fundamentally flawed. if GPS satellites were programmed never to truly lead to a location then I'm sure they wouldn't,and I'm sure in the middle of open ocean, 99% of people wouldn't be able to tell. I leave 1% of people as plausible but even so I have my doubt's.

[@1stPCFerret]

These days, not too many people know how to use old celestial navigation tools and charts to find their position. They are too dependent on GPS receivers, which might be "spoofable." Then again, maybe this is another example of the _Mandela Effect,_ where people claim two different versions of the same thing, such as _BerenstEin Bears_ vs _BerenstAin Bears._

[@KasketVorem]

the philadelphia was actually not an experiment to make an object disappear, but to teleport it through space to a different area. it’s said that it disappeared during the teleportation though, so the conclusion of the experiment was that they didn’t achieve their goal, but they found out how to make the ship disappear in the process.

[@robertblackshear8963]

Could be artificial. Given how vast our oceans are you never know what's really out there.

I only know that island has been disappearing because now we have pollution hot sun that melted the ice in Antarctica and the ocean is getting higher and higher that made the island sink and go missing

Wapole, near New Caledonia, used to be visible on Google Earth, but now it is blurred and it is not possible to focus the close view. I used to be able to see features, and photos were included. Now it looks like it is underwater. This island rose out of the ocean with cliffs all around. There was nothing there.

[@PortnoiJ]

i watched all 6 seasons of Lost a few times, i know where the island went

[@zwickyplaysroblox]

Then where did the island went?

[@fibnotnow3392]

somebody turned the giant wheel beneath the island.

[@aihsokin]

I think sea tides (high and low tide) has something to do with this. Like in our country Philippines, our country is composed of thousands of islands, some of them disappeares when high tide occurs but reappears when it's low tide. So maybe that's one of the reason why it's not visible sometimes or visible on satellite.

Cook thought too he discovered an island. I did not go ashore on the island. He just passed it from far and wrote it on the map and named it Sandy Island.

I’m no scientist, what if it is something like a geyser under the ocean. Every now then it pushes the earth/sand up. The ocean disturbance and wave causes it to have a certain shape. When the geyser like phenomena is over it sinks or dissipated.
