The post title might sound a bit obvious but it is simply a follow-on to yesterday’s, Islands Surrounded by Land.
The first question relates to today’s date, 8 June, and also to an island. The other questions are not date related but all are about islands.
One
In 1946, George Orwell left London and moved to Scotland, where he stayed at a remote house called Barnhill on a Hebridean island to finish his novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. What island was Barnhill on, and what chronic illness was Orwell suffering as he wrote the novel?
Two
In what ocean is the Chagos Archipelago located?
Three
What island extending from approximately 76° N to 83° N is world’s largest island entirely within the Arctic Circle?
Four
After the British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition ship was trapped by pack ice, a small group in an open boat, the James Caird, attempted an 810-mile winter crossing of the South Atlantic Ocean to organise a rescue. What two islands were the starting and ending points of this epic journey?
Five
What is the largest island in the geographic entity of Europe?
Good luck! I’ll post the answers later.
