I googled "Inaccessible archipelago", and as of today, I got 5 results from 4 different page types about 4 locations:
- fiction about one imaginary place, the Land of the Trogs;
- touristic on the Aeolian islands, historical on Banda Archipelago and news on neighbouring East Timor.

Time to add some more to the list.

2005, as the driest autumn on record starts.

An allucinating "one sense only" trail, from 418 meters to 2400 meters above sea level, along some of the steepiest lake cliffs in the world.

Just like in the tropics, the combination of best climate and islet views is the key to locate the most exclusive mile in the subtropics.

Let's have a look at the northern hemisphere first.

There are lots of islets in the eastern and central mediterranean but hardly any along the more oceanic coasts with temperature ranges below 12°C.

GeoPark Sarganserland-Walensee-Glarnerland, around the best lake in the world to understand immediately that mountain building the way you were told in school is a lie.

Not so long ago, in the days of the dinosaurs, there were no mountains on Earth.
So the northshore top was still touching the southshore.

Then the northshore was suddenly uplifted, 1900 meters higher above, leaving in the middle the deepest lake in the new area that would be known a few thousand years later as the Alps.

Nowhere else in the tropics is the climate as pleasant for people with Anglo-Saxon or German roots (or white people in general) as in the mile hiding between the trees and the only islet in Hawaii you can paddle to for a swim at a sandy beach.

And those are THREE of the reasons why the most exclusive addresses of the tropics are the beachfront and oceanfront (even numbers) estates of "Mokulua Dr, Kailua".

You can always divide an universum in 2 worlds.
One of the most fascinating things for me is to feel in 1 shot 2 or more climate worlds.
