A quick thought.....

If you type 'Mount Everest' into Google Earth select the TERRAIN view you get this




the similarity between Everest terrain is remarkably similar to the proposed terrain and size of the lost island. Here is a fan made map with details taken from maps presented to us through various characters.



The next image is a view of Mt Everest from the south, the second is Rousseau's map of the island from the south.



I know these images are far from identical but it gives you an idea that if Everest were surrounded by water the peaks you would expect to see are similar to Rousseau's map, taking weathering and ice disappearance into account.

For the record I hope lost island is not Everest or any other mountain peak of a watery future, just thought it was worth a mention. Everest currently stands at about 8848m above sea level, the islands estimated height is roughly 3000m. The sea level would have to rise by roughly 6000m

The Himalayas are also in one of twelve 12 Vile Vortices's (for those of you that like the vile theory) Was the listening station in the Himalayas? Is the sitar music at the beginning of the scene a clue to the location?

Tibetan and Buddhist influence in the show.

Adam and eve....rest.

In Walkabout Locke says: "Norman Croucher. Norman Croucher, double amputee, no legs. He climbed to the top of Mt. Everest. Why? It was his destiny."
Norman Croucher is a real man. Despite the loss of both his legs Norman has climbed many mountains. Interesting thing about Lockes speech is that Norman Croucher has never climbed Everest................but he plans to in the future. Time clue? Writers error? Or a Locke error, written as a hidden clue to Lockes knowledge or lack of it?
