Where is this Island Located?
Faithful reader Mike emailed me with some interesting information using Google Earth (which, by the way, if you haven’t used it yet you are really missing out). Anyway, he drew a 1200 mile diameter around coastal Nigeria to see how far the plane could go prior to it crashing on our island. There is an island called Annonbon that showed up. The island appears to have similar topographical and fauna to what our island is showing. Click HERE for a great picture of the island.
Of course, the problem is that this island and islands around it aren’t anywhere near the South Pacific. So this leads us to one of the major questions so far. How did our Lostie’s end up off of Africa OR how did the Nigerian plane end up in the South Pacific?
Here is what we know: The corporate headquarters for the Hanso Foundation appear to be in Denmark. However, from the cease and desist letter from the GHO, the writer references an Off-Shore facility on the island of Zanzibar (click HERE for the Zanzibar site). They reference this island because of a recent disease that is breaking out in the Congo. The GHO believes whatever is happening on this island led to the outbreak of the disease in the Congo (similar plot line to the Jurassic Park books - though not the movies).
Zanzibar and the surrounding islands are well within the range of our drug smuggling airplane. The climate and topography of the island are also very similar to our Lost island. Is it possible that, like Jurassic Park, Zanzibar is where the main facilities are BUT another more remote island is where our Losties are stuck?
This suggestion makes even more sense if you buy into the theory that our Losties have had their memory modified. If their memories were implanted then they didn’t leave from Australia - the island doesn’t have to be in the South Pacific.
Since I am a big believer in this theory I am now making my official prediction - our island is somewhere off the East Coast of Tanzania near the island of Zanzibar.
