A woman looking at Google Earth claims to have found a penis-shaped island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It was widely shared on social media and overseas tabloids, but is it real?
The claim:
“I was looking around the Trinity Islands and it just popped up and I thought, ‘Wow, that really looks like an uncircumcised penis’,” she wrote. “I had to drop the pin on the map right away, so people know I didn’t just stick that image through Photoshop or create it myself. I’d love to go and travel there and sit on the d**k.”
Is it fake news?
The island is located off the coast of New Caledonia which is located northeast of the Australian continent in the Pacific Ocean.
