Where is that Island? A map of the Caribbean.

that's a crummy map... it doesn't even show the Faroe Islands

 

Am I missing something here? Aren't the Faroe Islands between Scotland and Iceland?

Now if you want a great map - check out Google Earth: http://earth.google.com/

 

the Faroes are not shown on the map at issue... in my book, any map
that doesn't show the Faroes is a crummy map

:14:

say, that's an awesome map you posted with your post

 

How about Sombrareo -sp?

A question I've always been stymied by the answer to is what continent does Bonaire belong to (geographically). The US National Geographic Society tells me North America. I'd probably accept Europe over that since it does belong to The Netherlands. However, I think in terms of physical geography it is definitely South American. Why? Because I want to find an easy South American dive site to head for.

 

too true, Bill... the ABC's are just off the coast of South America

but

they are also in the Caribbean ... hmmm....

historically, they belong with the Caribbean

and the Caribbean is technically North America

Bonaire is part of the Dutch Antilles (now called the Netherlands Antilles) are is thus an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

 

Last I heard, it's undecided whether or not the islands of the Caribbean belong to the North American continent or the South American continent.

So, I'd go ahead and call them whatever works for you. It'll probably take a few million years of plate movement to finally determine the winner. And, if you were wrong, I won't tell anyone

 

To make things more confusing:

Paraphrasing diverliz1's earlier post in another thread:

The government will be changing over the next year and Bonaire will fall under the Netherlands as a "municipality" with exceptions - being a Caribbean island. They will now also have "Dutch" police on island.
