Name Your Islands Well
First impressions - pity the Marianas
with their Trench but formerly listed as the
Isles of Robbers due to a Spanish-era
misunderstanding
which concerned a boat that went missing, borrowed
from a galleon, without permission. Later
renamed for the Regent, Maria. Guam, the
largest of all those
islands: natives called it the Place With All Things
Needed. Now adjacent to clotted plastic
West Pacific Great Garbage Patch - the Gyre of
Everything Lost.
