Various Maps

In some episodes of Season 4 we saw a couple of maps we couldn't recognize very well.

For example, in episode 407 (Ji Yeon) we can see some charts on the wall of Captain Gault's stateroom.

We can see some drawn maps and some satellite/aerial photos.
One of the maps shows a couple of bigger islands along with some smaller islands. These islands are the Fiji, the place where the Kahana took off.

The satellite/aerial photo could be, theorically, images of the Islands, but, in reality, they are photo of an existing island in the Pacific. After some time of research, I found that the island used for the photos is Niihau, one of the islands in the Hawaii archipelago.


So, if someone thought these maps could be used to locate the (previous) position of the Island... They cannot.


Another map that caught my attention was, in Cabin Fever (411), the map in the pack Lapidus threw from the helicopter. I don't have a very good screenshot of that map; here's the best I have.

The visible letters are "...I_IBA...".
The state the map refers to is Kiribati.

So we can conclude that the map was a map of the islands in the Pacific Ocean... So the possibility that the Island was in the Pacific Ocean is very very high... This against those who still thought the Island was somewhere else...
Ok, let's end here this useless post... I hope that soon we can know where the Island is NOW...
