    No, there is no road connecting this island to any other landmass


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    The island has an airfield :)

    In distance, both are far away from the island. Cancun is closer but only by about 10%.

    Two hints:
    One: The island is in the Northern Hemisphere.
    Two: You might think something about it is related to Death but it's not really.

    Much closer in distance. Definitely controlled by the United States.

    It's not Guam... but the hint is: It's halfway between Guam and Hawaii along one axis :)

    Final Hint for the night: Strategic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,501 ✭✭✭✭Slydice


    Well, not quite halfway but the hint is in the word :)

    No, but that's the one that had me giving the wrong hints.

    Closer. There is a hint in the picture which should get you the right region and the location from there.

    Hannover ? (they have the electric trams and the green buses anyway)

    The closest guess yet. Mike_ie got the right Bundesland (but the far end of it in relation to this town).
