Earwicker posted:Does the island appear on actual marine charts? I thought it was just on Google Maps and the like, which is not intended for marine navigation use (and would be useless for it since depths aren't displayed, most reefs, shoals, rocks, etc are not displayed) It doesn't show up on Bing map; I don't have access to marine charts of the Southern Pacific at the moment but I doubt it would appear. Not that it would be a huge deal if it did - Charts in little-travelled area are often based on data from the 19th and 18th century. There are places where islands are fifteen miles off position, shoals aren't charted at all... Heck, there's an area off Northern Russia that's marked something like "Island reported, position approximate / doubtful, but it's somewhere in this 25 miles radius. Maybe."

Ships don't really throw out that much light when they're at sea, unless they're doing some sort of offshore work. Unnecessary light interferes with the lookouts' night vision and that's a safety issue. A cargo ship underway has five lights on, and they're baffled so they don't send too much light upward. There might be some more lights around the accommodations, but we're talking maybe a dozen bulbs, baffled so they don't send light up toward the wheelhouse. Shouldn't be enough to show up on the pictures, unless they adjusted the exposure for darker area. Anybody fishing or doing offshore work is lit up like an airport, however. Goes double for cruise ships.

There used to be plenty of uncontrolled crossing between the two countries; since the border moved a few times over the years, some people had houses built right on the border (IE, the living room in the states and the kitchen in Canada). Geodesics are hard, and it's a really loving long border. After 9/11, they really tightened up the border by cutting roads and adding fences, so now you have to at least get out of your car to get across the border. As we all know, terrorists really hate walking. (There's ground vibration detectors and all sorts of fancy stuff at chokepoints, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were plenty of places you could cross into the US undetected.)
