• FERDINANDEA. This is a volcanic island in the Mediterranean that appears above the waves every few centuries before getting submerged again. When it last appeared, in 1831, Britain, Sicily, France, and Spain all wanted Ferdinandea and starting arguing over who should control it—but the tiny chunk of basalt disappeared before they could figure it out. In 1986, American pilots mistook Ferdinandea for a Libyan submarine and dropped bombs on it!

• BOUVET ISLAND. This Norwegian nature reserve in the South Atlantic is more than one thousand miles from land. It’s not deserted, however; one hundred thousand penguins live there!
