Josh Calder, living in Washington, D.C., says islands that are nested in other islands surrounded by water two or three times are called “recursive islands.”
The number one expert on recursive islands has some concerns about government’s call for development proposals in the Grand Lake area. The land is under Exempt Mineral Land meaning government holds the rights to it which can be tendered. This includes the Lunch Pond gold deposit, as well as zinc and copper. American Josh Calder, living in Washington, D.C., actually visited Glover Island in 1988 in an inflatable boat with a backpack and discovered its uniqueness. Calder says islands that are nested in other islands surrounded by water two or three times are called “recursive islands.” Most are in Canada, with a couple in Japan and New Zealand. There is a famous recursive island inside a volcano in the Philippines. He says Glover Island is a triple recursive island, and it deserves protection. The provincial government has set January 22nd as the deadline for proposals. Calder has written to the government and the Sierra Club of Canada expressing his concerns about mineral development in the area.
