Best shaped island on earth?

[Kyriakos]

Due to so much crap going on now (mostly in the Ukraine, for the time being), i felt like starting a more pleasant thread :\

Anyway, you can post images of the supposedly best looking island on our planet. Continents (or most of those) which are islands count too, as well as countries or groups of countries (eg Britain).

I like the shape of Crete:

I always liked the shape of the Japanese islands.

As much as I hold contempt to the country, I have to admit that the British Islands have a very distinctive and striking shape :

I love Crete too! It's a really nice island, went there last summer.

Off the coast of Croatia apparently:

I always liked the shape of the Japanese islands.

I like Japan even better when its portrayed in older Japanese maps as horizontal:




And here is two pics of an Europa Universalis mod, which rotated Japan:

I always liked the shape of the Japanese islands.

There's something compelling about Hokkaido.

Anyway, Oahu (third from the left) and Hawaii (largest and rightmost).

Kefalonia (Cephalonia/Zante) is pretty cool-looking in my view, but only along with Ithake (Ithaka). Moreover its natural port (at Argostoli) is just awesome.

Btw it has been argued that the actual Ithaka is another island in the region, one currently named Leukas.

Japan's shape indeed looks super-cool.

Britain looks ok, but mostly due to Scotland

I've always though Puerto Rico was a better-looking version of Crete because of USA #1-itude.

Baffin Island

Baffin Island looks a bit like Britain... in the throes of passion.

No mention of Celebes / Sulawesi yet?
For me it was an obvious first thought / choice.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Skye! Because fjords.

 

[BvBPL]

Heart Island.
