To complete this challenge, you will need to spell out the names of 26 different islands, each one beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. It is not necessary to spell out the word ISLAND.

EXAMPLE:
A - Adelaide Island
B - Bali
C - Cyprus

For Q and X, you may use any name that contains the letter somewhere in it's name. I only found Q - Martinque and X - Alexandra Land.

To complete this challenge, you will need to spell out the names of 26 different islands, each one beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. It is not necessary to spell out the word ISLAND.

For Q and X, you may use any name that contains the letter somewhere in it's name. I only found Q - Martinque and X - Alexandra Land.

Welcome Mel!

[Sheila]

Question - although it's called Islands of the World, do the islands have to be in different territories? For example, could I stick (where possible) just with the islands around the UK?

You can do whatever you want! :)

[Sheila]

Sorry for being difficult - more clarification! If it's "Isle of ..." (eg Isle of Skye) do I need to spell out Isle of Skye, or do I just spell Skye? Or would that then count as the letter I? We have many Isles of ... around the UK! ;-)

I'd say Isle is the same as Island and you do not need to spell it out.
