EVS-Islands: #3 - Where In The World Is This Island Located?

The above map shows some of my completed island mapping projects. Each icon contains the name of the primary island associated with the project and a link to the post. Once all of my projects are posted, the map will be covered with icons. To productively use the map, zoom into a region of interest. Then select an icon.

Each of my maps is constructed of numerous layers of information. All of the layers are vector files. I will make these files available upon request. You are free to use them with certain restrictions - 1) Don't sell them. You can use them on research projects, post them to your website or things of that nature. If you aren't sure about the use of my maps, drop me a line and we can discuss your idea. 2) Give me credit when you use my vectors or images of my maps. Credit them to Peter Minton @ EVS-Islands

If I have the island vector file(s) and based upon your need, I will make them available. Images of my maps are yours to download and use, with the above restrictions applicable. Enjoy!

#3 - Where In The World Is This Island Located?

When it comes to islands, I'm pretty good at identifying them. Show me an island image or shape and I can usually come up with the name and it's location. This island has me stumped. Sure, I could eventually figure it out, but what fun would that be?

My question to all of you - What is the name of this island and where is it located?

First prize - On the first day of school, I'll tell my students how geographically smart you are and that they should model their geographical lives after you. In addition, I'll give you credit in your own special EVS-Island's post.

Second prize - I'll say that someone came in second.

Enjoy!

It looks a whole lot like Aldabra Islands; pretty good challenge. One of my former professors wants to do the same "Where in the world is this?" in the geography department at Texas State University.

My first thought was The Maldives.
