Rockall - rock contention

This small rock in the Atlantic sea is only 25 meters long and 21 meters wide. But it is still being bitter dispute between the four different states, and now we will explain why.





Rock uninhabited Rockall. It has no fresh water, and it is absolutely uninhabitable.



The secret is hidden in the fact that the UK, Denmark, Ireland and Iceland is not arguing for the right to inhabit it. Just the one who belongs to this rock, will be able to smoothly start fishing near the rocks, as well as to start developing oil fields.









It is known that only four people managed to sleep on a rock. And what happened in the summer. It sent a soldier who lived in a box almost forty days to confirm the claim of Great Britain, and the activists of the "Greenpeace" tried to create an independent state here even Veyvlend. All to no avail. The dispute over the rock continues.
