Plummer Island, aka Christmas Island, used to be an island when it was Plummer Island, but now as Christmas Island it is no longer an island.
Not only does it have a bridge to the main land, it has water, sewer, electricity, telephone, cable-tv and high speed internet utilities, and the area at the bridge has been all filled in with boulders, rocks, gravel, soil, and trees and shrubs which makes it more like a peninsular, than an island. Plus Christmas is totally, wall to wall, covered entirely with town house condos.
It is totally attached to the main land there so how can it be considered to be an island?
Christmas Island is an island in name only. When it was Plummer Island, it was a real island.
