Re: Everyone call Dean Kamen Lord Dumpling
apparently not - that looks like it might be a bush growing, not a tree
or its possible a tree might have sprung up on a smaller rock than Tom Thumb island, which would qualifiy it as the new 'smallest island' in the area. There are lots of rocks that stick up just above the surface, and some that are only a few inches below the surface, depending on the waterline they had to come up with a rule (draw the line somewhere). A tree being able to grow has a lot of implications about whether the 'island' is submerged during the year, how far above the water line it is, how much dirt is present... Im not an expert on the region, but the last I heard Tom Thumb was the official smallest island in the area. BTW - this thread has turned out to be very informative :^) |
