Back in the 70s when shortwave was still king, we used to pack communications radios, rolls of antenna wire and jump on a train to travel up to northern Scandinavia to listen to faraway exotic stations on the medium and shortwave bands. It was an ideal environment with no electronic noise, mainly due to scarce population, and we were free to roll out 500 meters of longwire in various directions without upsetting anybody. Fun times indeed!
From the article: "...88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, while only 11.4% contracted...". That is still 1 out of every 10 islands in 2018 that have so far shrunk due to sea-level rise.
