March 14, 2015: New island of Tonga
The government of Tonga sent out these images of their new land mass. Because they've been so successful with the .to domain, they've been able to add a new island to their realm!
"Buy land, they're not making it any more." is the Mark Twain quote. But they are making it. See that big round section with the ugly green lake in the middle of it? That wasn't there three months ago. It's a new island. Here's the "before" shot: NBC News presents a fine photo gallery of the new island, and says of it: Quote:
Ugly green lake is ugly! |
