Since the advent of Google Earth, the world has been explored and mapped down to its last corner. There are no unknown places left, no untouched islands, nothing more to discover - or is there? Alastair Bonnett presents in this book fascinating and extraordinary locations that completely disrupt our perceptions of the world. They appear and disappear, like the islands in the Ganges delta, vanish from satellite images, like Sandy Island off the coast of Australia, or hide under bushes and shrubs that cover all traces, like on the British peninsula of Arne. With an entertaining and lighthearted approach, places like Bir Tawil in East Africa, which adamantly refuses to belong to any nation, are described, as well as locations that seemingly belong to two nation-states at the same time. The narrative also covers hidden labyrinths, underground, abandoned, or overbuilt cities.
