Kabajima

Kabajima (椛島), also known as Kabashima, is a Japanese island off the southern coast of Nagasaki Prefecture off the island of Kyushu.[1]

History

In 2013, a floating offshore wind turbine was tested about 1 km off the coast of the island. It was a part of a Japanese government test project.[2] This was the first of its kind in Japan.

Geography

Kabajima has steep hills 481 feet in height. East Rocks is a low reef which is northeast of the island.[1]

The 9-km2 island is home to about 110 households in 2013.[2]

gollark: Hmm, apparently someone thought of it and it doesn't work, sad!
gollark: If websites can display images off the local disk with `file:///` URLs and the like, find image files on disk by randomly generating plausible image file names (lots are like `IMG_20210304.jpg` so quite guessable), and seeing if they load right.
