Scientists 'undiscover' Pacific island, say it doesn't exist
A South Pacific island, shown on world maps, marine charts
as well as on Google Earth, actually does not exist, Australian scientists claim.
The island, named Sandy Island on Google Earth allegedly sits between Australia and New Caledonia in the south Pacific.
The missing island has regularly appeared in scientific publications since at least 2000.
The discovery took place onboard the RV Southern Surveyor, Australia's Marine National Facility research vessel, during a 25-day research trip in the eastern Coral Sea.
