Summers Island

Summers Island is a small islands and British Overseas Territory about 300 kilometres East of the Southern tip of Greenland. It was uninhabited by humans until the early 11th century CE, when a viking ship landed on the Western side of the island. It was abandoned by the 12th century. In early 1735 it was spotted by John Summers (after which the island is named), aboard the HMS Lynton. The boat crashed into the South East of the island, where they disembarked.

Summers Island has a population of 129, descending from the crew of the HMS Lynton. The island has been decreasing in population since 1960, where it peaked at 412. Many of the island's inhabitants have emigrated to the UK, due to lack of employment on the island. The remaining people survive through fishing and some tourism.
