SUNDAY



Many city slickers dream about cutting loose for an island vacation. Every
island has its own distinct character, according to Dani Redd, who has spent
much of her life traveling to islands and writing about them. “Some, like
Singapore, are vast metropolises; others are barren gray rocks in the middle of
the churning ocean,” she said. “The possibilities are endless, which is why
islands inspire such fascination.” In today’s Daily Dose, we catch a glimpse of
remote islands, crowded islands and islands with curious histories — some better
suited to read about than actually visit.

– with reporting by Matthew Blackman from Cape Town, South Africa

WHITE SAND, TURQUOISE WATERS
AND CHEWING-GUM ORDINANCES

San Salvador

Reportedly the first land spotted by Christopher Columbus, San Salvador was
called “Guanahani” by its Lucayan inhabitants. At the time of Columbus’s
conquest, the inhabitants of this island considered it paradise. Today its
population hovers just under a thousand people, and its white sandy beaches slip
into shallow-water coral reefs home to hundreds of fish species, such as queen
triggerfish and blue tangs.

Seychelles

This archipelago of 115 granite islands is located east of Kenya in the warm
clear waters of the Indian Ocean. Its white beaches and rare animal species,
including the Aldabra giant tortoise and the famous clownfish, make the
Seychelles one of the most desirable holiday destinations on earth. But this
paradise has had its troubles. In 1981, a planeload of mercenaries under the
command of “Mad Mike” Hoare unsuccessfully attempted to overthrow the national
government. And today the country is in the throes of another man-made disaster,
as climate change brings rising sea levels and shifting storm patterns.

Singapore

If you’re looking for a place where people follow the rules and crime rates are
among the lowest on earth, Singapore may be your utopia. This island nation made
headlines in the 1990s for its law banning chewing gum. Aside from strict
regulations, Singapore is also home to some of the world’s most unusual
architecture, including Jewel at Changi Airport. Inside its glass and steel
structure, this 10-story, 1,461,000-square-foot entertainment complex boasts a
hedge maze and the world’s tallest indoor waterfall.

Film Festival in comfy and stylish Cariuma sneakers. It's no wonder, with bold
and saturated colors that are fashion-first and Internet-famous, that these are
the shoes of the moment. Don’t see them included in any Memorial Day sales?

WINDSWEPT AND CHILLING

Pater Noster

The Swedish island of Hamneskär gained its nickname Pater Noster, or “Our
Father,” because sailors launched into recitations of the Lord’s Prayer while
trying to navigate around it. The island later became known for its enormous
cast-iron lighthouse, built in 1868, that has the look and feel of the Eiffel
Tower; for over 150 years, lighthouse keepers were this island’s only human
inhabitants. Today, however, there is a hotel, and the island has its own
Instagram account. But consider yourself warned: Even its own PR team calls
Pater Noster “one of Sweden’s most windblown, barren and exposed places.”

The Hebrides

With their luscious green hills and white sand beaches, the Scottish Hebrides
boast a certain mystical beauty — and a learned history. During the Dark Ages,
the stone abbey on the tiny island of Iona (current population: 170) was one of
the few places in all of Europe where monks kept alive the then-endangered arts
of reading and writing in the Roman alphabet. And while suffering from
tuberculosis in 1946, George Orwell headed to the Hebridean island of Jura,
where he wrote his dystopian classic “1984.” Weather-appropriate beachwear can
include a bikini, so long as it is also worn with a duffle coat and woolen
socks. For warmth there is also the Hebridean Whisky Trail.

Baffin Island

Though it's the world's fifth-largest island, Baffin has a population of only
about 11,000 people. Situated between mainland Canada and Greenland, Baffin is a
place to relish awe-inspiring landscapes. Vast and cold, this is not everyone’s
ideal vacation locale. But you’ll have the chance to learn about Inuit culture
and dog-sled your way to places of interest.

LITTLE LANDS, MIGHTY HISTORIES

Malta

Slap bang in the middle of the Mediterranean, Malta has both spectacular beauty
and historical significance. After the Crusades, the Knights of St. John settled
on Malta. But the Ottoman emperor Suleiman the Magnificent was intent on
crushing them and sent a fleet of 40,000 troops to attack the tiny fort of St.
Elmo. Astonishingly, the Maltese garrisons inflicted huge losses on the Turks,
who subsequently withdrew. Later besieged by Axis forces during World War II,
Malta and its Allied defenders succeeded against formidable odds.

St. Helena

The South Atlantic island of St. Helena is among the world's most remote
settings, which is why the British sent Napoleon here after his 1815 defeat at
the Battle of Waterloo. Then, in 1890, after the British defeated the Zulus,
they exiled King Dinuzulu here, largely as a punishment for his father’s victory
at the Battle of Isandlwana. Today there are only two ways of reaching St.
Helena — a weekly flight from Johannesburg or a seven-day sea voyage from Cape
Town. Once arrived, you can visit the house in which Napoleon lived and died.
You can also spot hammerhead and whale sharks, then hike up to “Lot’s Wife’s
Ponds” for a dip in the clear pools.

Robben Island

From atop the Cape Town’s Table Mountain, the view across the bay is interrupted
by a flat, desolate rock called Robben Island. It’s famous for housing a
prisoner of royal Xhosa blood: Nelson Mandela. Yet Mandela was not the first
Xhosa royal confined there. Two great leaders, Maqoma and Makhanda — who were
thorns in the side of the British — were captive here more than a century before
Mandela. Of the thousands of political prisoners incarcerated on Robben Island,
Makhanda is the only one who tried to swim for freedom; he drowned in the
attempt. The prison is now a museum.
