Was thinking the same thing. These islands are perfect for settings of horror movies or video games. They are all a bit eerie and beautiful at the same time. Lots of these islands would be perfect settings for summer camps that somehow become the next zombie infestation.

Then there are islands like Dean Kamen's island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dumpling_Island) on the other hand that are kinda like Tony Stark's island. So expensive to have services on an island and get stuff to and fro. Kamen has solved the independent power grid problem there.
