Isle Royale came to my attention through this list, otherwise I might 
never have known of it.

I fly over/past it periodically on trips between Toronto and Thunder 
Bay, so I see it from FL220 or so. The island is long and thin, vaguely 
east-west, and along the shores there are parallel and much smaller 
island-lets with gaps between.

These gaps act as irregular, natural diffraction gratings, and - 
depending on the prevailing wind - the water between the small islands 
and the main usually shows interference patterns.

I think of the coincidence that list members have photographed there, 
uniting the photographic concepts of diffraction and interference and 
the natural effects in the water.
