What's おもしろい about ぐんかんじま、is that it is an island that has been completely uninhabited for almost 40 years. It was abandoned because it was once home to a coal plantation. でも、because of the introduction of petroleum, people abandoned the island as it was no longer necessary. Many of the people who worked the factories were かんこくじん prisoners of war, and several died on the island. だから、many people believe ぐんかんじま to be ゆうれい(幽霊)「haunted」。
If any of you have seen the movie "Inception," it reminds me a lot of the world of Cobb's limbo. One of the coolest things is that lots of the photographs of this mysterious island came from a photographer who accessed the island illegally. Although it is sometimes open to the public, people can only see a very limited area. He was very adventurous, but I would not suggest mimicking his courage (or foolishness). Because of the bad and unpredictable weather on the island, it is possible to get effectively stranded if you don't know how to get around the place--which pretty much everyone doesn't, since no one lives there.
