Skull Island: Google Maps shows where King Kong lives

The 2017 film Kong: Skull Island, directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, reboots the iconic franchise and thrusts the mighty gorilla back into the spotlight. The film’s setting has captured the imagination of millions. Where is this mysterious island?

Thanks to playful additions by Google Maps, we can embark on virtual journeys to fictional locations from beloved franchises like Batman, Harry Potter, and Doctor Who. Now, King Kong’s Skull Island joins this illustrious group.

Google Maps pinpoints Skull Island in the South Pacific Ocean, close to the Equator. To locate it, follow here.

Adding a touch of humor, you can even write a review of the island. Just imagine the tales from those fortunate enough to survive a visit! [Update — I disabled the two text links above, because those pages no longer exist.]
