I had a conversation with a crew while sailing around the Stockholm archipelago.
What constitutes and island?
(that makes it different from a rock)

A cliff could be called island for fun but once it could make a difference when establishing territorial delimitation which could further lead to a country's right to exploit some mineral resources (oil, natural gas) it's a damn hard job to prove whether it's an island or just a cliff. In 2009 Romania won a long dispute over maritime delimitation with its neighbours, and our lawyers team did a good job in the International Court of Justice in the Hague to prove the Snakes' Island was just a cliff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritim...ia_and_Ukraine |

I suppose a 25 year leasehold will do in the mean time.

Açores is the archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic, which belongs to Portugal. 
Canárias is the arquipelago on the coast of Africa, which belong to Spain.
I'm confused.  |
