Ganges Island, a phantom island known as Nakanotorishima (中ノ鳥島, literally "central bird island") in Japanese, appeared at 30°45′N 154°25′E on maps of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1] Reports of its disappearance appeared in 1933.[2]
The purported island was considered a part of an Anson Archipelago, which included other phantom islands such as Los Jardines as well as real islands such as Wake and Marcus Islands.
