Lost world, This is a website stating areas of the world, that are little talked about, or are remote and lost beyond most's experiences, though some like St Kilda, are famous, others like North Rona, and the Ob Gulf, are not, here is the story, of these places, of wonder and amazement. Well to 2006 anyhow. I think they add up to a fascinating area of amazement. Look at http://www.lonympics.co.uk/
