Sandy Island (sometimes labelled in French Île de Sable, and in Spanish Isla Arenosa) is a non-existent island that was charted for over a century as being located near the French territory of New Caledonia between the Chesterfield Islands and Nereus Reef in the eastern Coral Sea.[1] The island was included on many maps and nautical charts from as early as the late 19th century. It was removed from French hydrographic charts in 1974. The island gained wide media and public attention in November 2012 when the R/V Southern Surveyor, an Australian research ship[2], passed through the area and "undiscovered" it. The island was quickly removed from many maps and data sets, including those of the National Geographic Society and Google Maps.[3]
The island never existed. Mystery solved.

China problably robbed the sand off it
To build their islands up😁

[EnseiMada]

it is actual island name is Jaya.
The reason why it is missing because of the knocked up stream.

Thanos snapped his fingers and... POOF! THE ISLAND IS GONE!

God obviously deleted it. ☺️ (Just a joke don't hate please!)

[westhouse]

if it was blacked out on the sat map, id wager they also "adjusted" its position/coordinates so no one could just venture out on a boat and see for themselves. realize that using GPS to confirm ones location is fundamentally flawed. if GPS satellites were programmed never to truly lead to a location then I'm sure they wouldn't, and I'm sure in the middle of open ocean, 99% of people wouldn't be able to tell. I leave 1% of people as plausible but even so I have my doubt's.

In short they do not know there saved you 7 min watch another video.

now the island is called *"WATER ISLAND"*

I have my theory: the island was the back of a giant ancient turtle 🐢 that’s why it’s gone because the turtle has swam away lol 😂

When they say sandy Island hasn’t sunk it’s vanished, my cookie breaks apart into my tea

Thanos is real
Sandy Island: I DONT FEEL SO GOOD

[kevin.feng]

China probably just harvested for its sand. And before you say why china it's because they are a major player in sand/cement usage and are literally making islands.

I don’t always go searching for mysterious islands...
But when I do, I always go in the middle of the night...

I was out on a fishing expedition with a neighbour of mine in 1993, he told me of the sandy island and wanted to know if i wanted to see it and i said yes as we had been boat bound for a few dit was NOT made of 'pumpice' it was made of sand and some rock no mistake, I spent about 3 hours on that island and when I saw it had disappeared I thought something is wrong this cant be true but here we are....ays, it was not a small island and at the highest looked about 400m

sandy island: i don’t feel so good mr. stark

ITS A RIFT, FORTNITE IS REAL, RUN!!!, just kidding

I’m no scientist, what if it is something like a geyser under the ocean. Every now then it pushes the earth/sand up. The ocean disturbance and wave causes it to have a certain shape. When the geyser like phenomena is over it sinks or dissipated.
