Ellesmere Island — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly claims that pieces of chain mail were among the Norse artifacts found on the Bache Peninsula; established archaeological records do not include chain mail among the known Norse artifacts from that area.
Federated States of Micronesia — The claim that the Saudeleur dynasty built Nan Madol from about AD 500 until its collapse around 1500 is inaccurate; construction is generally dated from around AD 800–1200, and the dynasty's rule ended around AD 1628.
Galápagos Islands — The distance from mainland South America is stated as 'approximately 525 nautical miles (600 miles or 970 km)'. The correct distance is approximately 600 miles (970 km) from the Ecuadorian coast, but 525 nautical miles is roughly 604 statute miles, not 600; mo

New Caledonia — The statement that Zealandia sank 'between 79 and 83 million years ago' is imprecise; the widely accepted geological timeline is that Zealandia began to break away from Gondwana around 85 million years ago and largely submerged by about 66 million years ago (e
