Te Pito O Te Henua aka "The Navel of the World" aka Easter Island.

With the highest point @ 46 meters, this depiction of Easter Island in a Virtual Region terrain has a lot of potential.

"The island is about 24.6 km (15.3 mi) long by 12.3 km (7.6 mi) at its widest point; its overall shape is triangular. It has an area of 163.6 square kilometres (63.2 sq mi), and a maximum altitude of 507 meters (1,663 ft). There are three Rano (freshwater crater lakes), at Rano Kau, Rano Raraku and Rano Aroi, near the summit of Terevaka, but no permanent streams or rivers. The average Moai is 13 feet tall."

Tenerife was the site of the worst accident ever in commercial aviation. Known as the "Tenerife airport disaster", the airliner collision took place on March 27, 1977, at Los Rodeos airport in the north of the island and two Boeing 747 airplanes were involved.

El Hierro, nicknamed Isla del Meridiano (the "Meridian Island"), is the smallest and farthest south and west of the Canary Islands and rises to 1500 meters. [up to 40 meters virtually]

This is the 2nd of 7 terrains that I am doing of the Canary Islands.

With 3 beaches and one of them very large with waist high waters...go swimming and sail your boats...relax!!

El Hierro's western end was for a long time considered the end of the known world by the Europeans.

In the year 1634, France ruled by Louis XIII and Richelieu decided that Ferro's [El Hierro] meridian should be used as the reference on maps, since this island was considered the most western position of the Old World.

Molokaʻi or Molokai is an island in the Hawaiian archipelago. It is 38 by 10 miles in size at its extreme length and width with a usable land area of 260 square miles, making it the fifth largest of the main Hawaiian Islands and the 27th largest island in the United States.

Highest elevation is 4961 ft and land area of 260 sq miles [virtually 57m]

The shape of Molokai Island can be recalled as that of a shoe or a fish.

Molokaʻi is built from two distinct shield volcanoes known as East Molokaʻi and the much smaller West Molokaʻi. The highest point is Kamakou on East Molokaʻi, at 4,970 feet (1,510 m). East Molokaʻi volcano, like the Koʻolau Range on Oʻahu, is today only what remains standing of the southern half of the original mountain. The northern half suffered a catastrophic collapse about 1.5 million years ago and now lies as a debris field scattered northward across the Pacific Ocean bottom,[5] while what remains on the island are the highest sea cliffs in the world.[6] Views of these sea cliffs are presented in the movie Jurassic Park III. The south shore of Molokaʻi boasts the longest fringing reef in the U.S. and its holdings—nearly 25 miles (40 km) long.

Molokaʻi is distinguished in the Roman Catholic religion as the longtime residence of Father Damien de Veuster, a Belgian priest and Mother Marianne Cope of the Sisters of St. Francis, both of whom have been canonized Roman Catholic Saints for their treatment and care given during the 19th century to long term sufferers of Hansen's Disease, also known as leprosy.

Hey, Ilan, can you fix it for gold members to "pay for their own minutes" on worlds where people "pay credits for other peoples minutes" please
I always feel a little bad if their credits are running down when I'm there not caring about time since I'm gold

Yes, you are Gold DD-))

Sounds like a useful function to add. I don't mind but if it added up to much and lowered my nest egg so that I could not do MP purchases then I would have to remove it. My main use for them is to sometimes buy inventory I have mostly no use for....lol...altho my Auto Repair Business may take off, some fine day-)) [looks for mechanics with proper certifications]

I can't afford to buy KCs, or any virtual money, for that matter...lol

Enjoy...

Lānaʻi is the sixth-largest of the Hawaiian Islands and the smallest publicly accessible inhabited island in the chain. It is also known as Pineapple Island because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation.

Lānaʻi is somewhat comma-shaped with a width of 18 miles (29 km) in the longest direction. The land area is 140.5 square miles (364 km2), making it the 42nd largest island in the United States.

The highest point in Lanai is Mount Lanaihale. It is an inactive volcano near the center of the island and to the east of Lanai City. The elevation of Mount Lanaihale is 3,366 ft., or 1026 meters. [virtually 34m]

The name Lānaʻi is of uncertain origin, but the island has historically been called Lānaʻi o Kauluāʻau, which can be rendered in English as "day of the conquest of Kauluāʻau." This epithet refers to the legend of a Mauian prince who was banished to Lānaʻi for some of his wild pranks at his father's court in Lāhainā. The island was reportedly haunted by Akua-ino, ghosts and goblins. Kauluāʻau chased them away and brought peace and order to the island and regained his father's favor as a consequence.

In 1922, James Dole, the president of Hawaiian Pineapple Company (later renamed Dole Food Company), bought the island and developed a large portion of it into the world's largest pineapple plantation.

With Hawaii statehood in 1959, Lānaʻi became part of the County of Maui.

In 1985, Lānaʻi passed into the control of David H. Murdock, as a result of his purchase of Castle & Cooke, then owner of Dole.

In June 2012, Oracle Corporation CEO Larry Ellison purchased Castle & Cooke's 98 percent share of the island. The state owns the remaining 2 percent. The sale price was not revealed, but the Maui News previously reported the asking price was between $500 million and $600 million. Ellison reportedly plans to invest as much as another $500 million to add to and improve the island's infrastructure and to create an environmentally friendly agricultural industry.

Kahoʻolawe is the smallest of the eight main volcanic islands in the Hawaiian Islands. The highest point on Kahoʻolawe is the crater of Lua Makika at the summit of Puʻu Moaulanui, which is about 1,477 feet (450 m) above sea level. [43m virtually]

The terrain includes the small crescent land between this Island and Maui. I placed it in a slightly different location due to the necessities of the VW. There are several beaches also.
