If I still had The Mindscape U.S. Atlas, the location of Isle Royale would be ingrained on my memory, as I used to watch video footage for every state in the list of states for which they have it. If it's not in the states, I said U.S. Atlas because the person who chose the locations tended to focus more on natural scenery than manmade structures, and the World Atlas person was just the opposite.

Hmm, I only know the locations of Majorca and Islay. Hainan sounds vaguely familiar, but I thought it was a province or something, not an island.
