A 50-year-old woman was left so shocked after discovering an island in the shape of a penis on Google Earth that she had to share it with the whole world.
Joleen Vultaggio, who is from Detroit, Michigan, spotted the island while exploring on the online Map site, something she says she does for a hobby. It was while she was in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean that she came across what she would dub 'Penis Island'.
The island is located in the Trinity Islands off the coast of New Caledonia and is over 500 metres in length.
Joleen told reporters:
"I was looking around the Trinity Islands and it just popped up and I thought 'wow, that really looks like an uncircumcised penis'. I had to drop the pin on the map right away, so people know I didn't just stick that image through Photoshop or create it myself. I shared it so people could pull up the coordinates and see it with their own eyes that it's physically there and it really does look like a penis. The water looks blue and beautiful and I'd love the area to be closer to me. I'd love to go and travel there and sit on the d**k. I didn't go and measure how big it is, but considering it's in the middle of the ocean it's a pretty big penis. I was scrolling round thinking, if there's the penis, where's the vagina? We've found those too, but they're more rock formations. It's interesting to see what the world has on it."
"My kids think I'm nuts sometimes when I show them things, so I haven't shown them this. They'd probably laugh though and give me an eye roll."
Joleen says she is part of a wider community of Google Earth users who find interesting things then share them in a Facebook community. She is currently an unemployed mother of three.
This isn't the first time that a rather rude image has been seen on Google Earth. In early 2019, a huge 60 foot phallus was spotted on the site near Aberdeen, Scotland. The image was drawn by pranksters on Mackie Academy playing fields and drew widespread media attention both in Scotland and internationally.
