I'm beginning to wonder about a good explanation for the Saalangal's home
island to be where it is. I'm still thinking it would be situated over
Carpenter Ridge, but say on a spot that made it above the surface of the
waves. The island is now about 200 miles at it's longest with smaller
islets. Would it have been formed at the same time as the Boreanesian
archipelago if it remains on Carpenter Ridge? Or is Carpenter ridge
younger than the Boreanesian Archipelago (important questions because that
helps determine endemic plant species)? Or, is it a part of Sundaland if
it's there?


So many questions, not enough time to esplore them :).
