Also notice:

German punctuation of numbers:

e.g.: 2.000,5 instead of 2,000.5

Nice quiz. Also, I measured Flatey on Google Maps, and it appears to have an area of around 0.56 km².

Good quiz. Just back from a trip there where I visited three of these. They were the only three I guessed! And all well worth a visit.
