<div id="ygrps-yiv-791304810">Thanks again, Marcel! A nice site, and although these other islands <br/>
are not new to me, it is only the second time that I read about the <br/>
islands Tierra and Mar here. The first time was on a radio amateur <br/>
site of a Mr. Wolfgang Schippke (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://dc3mf.tripod.com/Index.htm)">http://dc3mf.tripod.com/Index.htm)</a>. <br/>
I then asked on BP who knew anything more about the islands. If my <br/>
memory serves me well, Arif had some doubts regarding the accuracy of <br/>
the map on that site (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.425dxn.org/dc3mf/penon.html)">http://www.425dxn.org/dc3mf/penon.html)</a>. But <br/>
that was it. Now the maps on this site that you mention here are not <br/>
very conclusive either - yes, the islets are very tiny - but there <br/>
they are again! Do you or anyone else here know anything about them? <br/>
<br/>
Marcel: &quot;(...)Another curiosity: the tiny sand line that joins the <br/>
Peñón Vélez to the Morocco coast that forms perhaps the shorter <br/>
border on the world was formed on 1934, after a great sea storm.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
I thought someone else here mentioned it was the result of Moroccans <br/>
building a road nearby. But it was mentioned as &quot;the shortest <br/>
international border in the world&quot;.<br/>
