Kapalai
- mkl95 4y ago> The island of Kapalai, just 15 kilometres off Sipadan, was a beautiful island two hundred years ago, but now remains as only a sand bar. Erosion has reduced the island to sea level and the village now sits on the edge of the extensive Ligitan Reefs. All of the buildings rest on stilts resting on the underwater reef. There is only one private resort on the island, with the rest of the island uninhabited.
- jvalencia 4y agoThis is an odd article, given this island is off the island of Sipadan, which itself is not very large: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sipadan#/media/File:Sipadan_island.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sipadan#/media/File:Sipadan_is... I guess it's notable for the fact that there is a resort in the barely submerged island?
- mkl95 4y agoIndeed. The fact an island that is basically a platform supported by sticks has a Wikipedia article is pretty odd.
