Kingman Reef
Reason
This is a very pretty photo, and a very rare one. As the Kingman Reef is very hard to get to (see Image:Orthographic projection over Kingman Reef.png ). This is also something most people are not aware of, and a lot of people could learn something from it.

Take a closer look. That isn't gravel; it's shells. The rope is i'm guessing connected to the boat the photographer arrived on. The bottle might have a message inside. The "pottery plant" appears to be a coconut with maybe a palm growing out of it. As for it being not so hard to get to..


Yes, it is pretty darn close to Palmyra atoll, but Palmyra is uninhabited. The closest thing is either Johnston atoll, which only military is allowed on the last time I checked, and Kiritimati (the largest atoll in the world), part of the island nation of Kiribati. Kiritimati has 5,000 or so people. Think Mcfly, think! --Indolences 04:14, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
