Hi
I’ve developed the habit recently to explore the places I read about in novels using Google Earth, so as to get a feel for the geography, scenery, weather and perhaps even the people to be found there.
I’m currently rereading Stormchild after I don’t know how many decades, and so of course I’ve been trying to find the Archipiélago Sangro de Cristo, the Isla Tormentos and the Estrecho Desolado off the Chilean coast, without much luck.
Is the Isla Tormentos entirely fictional, or did you base it more or less loosely on an existing island you saw on a chart somewhere?
(I’m reading a Reader’s Digest condensed version, which doesn’t carry the usual disclaimers about stuff being entirely fictional and so forth. My apologies if the full length version actually does).

Thanks and Regards
