Today's post represents something new I learned today. The smallest island in the world is Bishop Rock,it is 4 miles west of the Isles of Scilly in Cornwall (UK). If I understand correctly what makes it an island instead of a piece of rock is the lighthouse on it.The building was originally started in 1847,swept away by a storm in 1850 and finally completed in 1858, The island rises a mere 148 feet out of the ocean is 150 feet long and 52 feet wide. Since converting to automatic operations in 1991 its ten floors have been used to house up to 4 guests at a time who can stay for up to three weeks. It might be peaceful and nice for a few days but it seems like it might get a little boring after that.
