ATLANTIC ISLANDS 

     GENERAL INFO
In an effort to find new places to explore, I have looked into the islands found in and around the Atlantic Sea. It is just as rich in islands as the Mediterranean, but they are scattered over a way larger area. Here are actually surprisingly few interesting and un-explored islands left for me. I have already visited quite some, others are too small or cold for me.
