    Because that’s not a little island; it’s the northeast chunk of Ireland. I guess it just sorts of fades away instead of showing the whole landmass because only lighthouses in Northern Ireland are within the UK.

      (I’m from Ireland, I was making a little joke about being erased from the map. We have lighthouses too, and they’re even also managed by the RNLI)
