🏝️ Islets of the World

These are notable islets — small islands that never grew into towns, kept instead for lighthouses, fortresses, bird colonies, pilgrimage shrines or simply wilderness, scattered from Adriatic rocks and Scottish holms to Pacific motus and Russian north-coast outcrops. Each profile shows where the islet sits, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
