There are many issues with news aggregation and it being sold as the cure all is just wrong.

  • A phantom island once helped me to establish the antiquity of an old Bible passed down in my family. For some reason it had lots of maps in it, including a world map. To my surprise the world map contained the island of 'Frisland' somewhere between Scotland, Norway and Iceland. I thought maybe it's an old name for the Faroe islands or something, but actually when I looked it up on the internet wikipedia said it was a phantom island that disappeared from most of the maps in the late 17th century and when we got the Bible properly dated it turned out to be from the mid 17th century.

  • There is also another reason here. Many cartographers placed a small, false island on their maps for copyright purposes. If someone copied their map, it would be easy for the original creator to provide evidence of the copyright by stating the false island, yet the person in question would not. It also happens a lot in books. The author will deliberately spell one word wrong, so if it came into question, they would be able to say exactly which word is incorrect, and the person who stole their material would not.

  • My favourite phantom islands are two that did actually exist for centuries, but eventually sank due to rising sea levels. First is Doggerland which was colonised by early hominids and remained in folklore till the 1700s. The second is Graham Island / Ferdinand Island / Julia Island, a volcanic island that appears and disappears off the coast of Sicily and has been claimed by Britain, Italy, and France over the centuries of its popping up.

    • One phantom island, Thompson Island (near the actual Bouvet Island, the most isolated island on earth) was theorized to have been destroyed in a volcanic eruption, although considering when a ship went to its hypothesized location and found the ocean depth to be about 2400 meters/7900 feet, it's unlikely. However, it is of course true that the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption destroyed most of its island, as did the Krakatoa eruption.
