      Google Maps Mistake?

      Go to google maps with sattelite view
      Go to the southern most tip of Argentina (zoomed really far out)
      And perfectly east of it will be a smallish white island.
      Zoom in and see what the name is.

      This seems to obvious to be a mistake. Of course it's some small island between argentina and antarctica... but it's still a wierd mistake. It'll be obvious btw...

      edit:
      It's not the first island to the east, it's the smaller whitish one...

      Lol! I just googled the name of the island (South Georgia and the South Sandwich is) and found out it's an actual island... but the 'is' part stands for island. I guess the name was to long to put all of 'island' in it... since all the other islands can fit all of it.

      Anyways false alarm... I thought it was some mistake, like the island was called south georgia and someone accidently added sandwich or something like that. Guess not.

      SLIGHTLY off topic, but there is a certain map thing (I forget ), and it doesn't know EXACTLY where our house is. Maybe mapquest...It thinks it's 5 houses away, or something...
      If you see a strange typo in my post, blame my iPad for that.
