  Phantom island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phantom islands are islands that are believed to exist and appear on maps for a period of time (sometimes centuries), and then are removed after they are proven not to exist (or the general population stops believing that they exist).
Some phantom islands arose through the mislocation of actual islands: for instance, Pepys Island was actually a misidentification of the Falkland Islands.
As opposed to Phantom Islands, Lost Lands are islands or continents believed by some to have existed during pre-history, but to have disappeared as a result of catastrophic geological phenomena or slowly rising sea levels since the end of the last Ice Age.

From the helm of the seal-hunting schooner Tartar, Morrell saw a tower of raging hellfire: 2,000-degree molten rock spewing from the island’s belly into 30-foot-wide rivers of destruction that punched through each other, suffocated everything in their path and collided with the Pacific Ocean in a boiling, screeching hiss.
The Galápagos Islands have been a destination of enchantment for yachtsmen since 1535, when the Bishop of Panama sailed off course on his way to Peru, landed more than 600 miles west of Ecuador and recorded descriptions of tortoises weighing 500 pounds, each with a shell larger than a saddle, or galápago.
Some of the islands are little more than a sea of animals whose coos and whistles and honks and belches seem more distinct than those elsewhere on the planet, like stars that glow in skies uncluttered by city lights.

 Morrell Wine Bar & Cafe - Reviews
Morrell's new Rockefeller Center outpost has taken connoisseurship to the next level, charging $48 for a glass of '88 Château d'Yquem to wash down that foie gras club sandwich, making it an extremely expensive place to get drunk.
But Morrell, whose Morrell and Company was founded 50 years ago, believes the ban on alcohol in the 1920s and early 1930s set the country back a good 20 years in its wine education.
Walking into Morrell's is like walking into a wine museum: Hundreds of bottles in temperature-controlled display cases line the walls of the split-level, airy room, confirming the fact that there's something supremely beautiful about merlots, Bordeaux and pinot grigios.

Hired by wealthy and powerful clients as an executive protector, Savage is assigned to rescue Rachel Stone from her sadistic husband on the Greek island of Mykonos.

Morrell's other gift is to interweave background history and information (expository writing) within clips of dialogue.

Protection Island is a rare and beautiful kind of place; it's rare because it's a little island right in the city's harbour, without a bridge going to it.

 Downzoning roadblock in Westerleigh
The City Planning Commission put up the first real roadblock to a community rezoning on Staten Island when it said that it could not support changing building rules in Westerleigh to permit only one-family homes to be built there in the future.
After signing off on dozens of community downzonings for the Island, a place clamoring for protection from fast-paced development, the commission's concern about the Westerleigh application is the first sign that the city may be rethinking such wholesale changes, even when a community asks for them.
But Morrell said the house is not in a R2 district, despite the society's request to downzone the Bluestone house and others like it to that very zoning.
