[ISL] Five #islands links: Iles-de-la-Madeleine, St. Kilda, Heligoland, Rapa Nui, Tonga


  • Le Devoir took a look at the importance of the seal hunt for the Iles-de-la-Madeleine.

  • Alex Boyd at The Island Review details, with prose and photos, his visit to the now-deserted island of St. Kilda.

  • The Economist took a look at the German North Sea island of Heligoland.

  • Orlando Milesi writes at the Inter Press Service about the threats posed by climate changes to the iconic statues and marine resources of Rapa Nui.

  • VICE looks at the plight of people who, as convicted criminals, were deported to the Tonga where they held citizenship. How do they live in a homeland they may have no experience of?
