    Clipperton Atoll, the remote island made famous for the stunning fish Holacanthus limbaughi, is for sale, according to the questionable website Private Islands Online–”the worlds private island marketplace”. All 1,235 acres of this virgin and barren land are for sale at an unlisted price. Word to the wise, contact the Mr. Sarkozy before making a deposit.

    Speaking of the Clipperton Angelfish (H. limbaughi) another trip is in the works. Angelfish enthusiasts may finally get their chance to own this beautiful fish.

      Hmm wonder how many banks would need to be robbed to buy it?

      I have noticed people are confusing Clipperton Atoll with Clipperton Island. The Clipperton Atoll that is for sale is in French polynesia about 3500 miles West of the map posted which is Clipperton Island.

      Clipperton Atoll or Island is not for sale. It was discovered by the french sailor Michel Dubocage from Le Havre on the 3 april 1711 who call it Ile de la Passion. His log was the only proof of these discovery. That is the raison Clipperton belong at France since 1858 confirmed by an international arbitration in 1931.
