Peninsula or Island?
[edit]Every website I have consulted refers to Tengako as a peninsula. But a study of satellite imagery indicates that is is separated from Fongafale, and linked only by a causeway. Shouldn't Wikipedia reflect the facts, not the "common knowledge"? Given the way atoll islands shift with cyclones, silting up, mangrove growth etc, it would seem likely that Tengako was once an island (hence the separate name), through shifting sands and vegetation was merged with the main island Fongafale, and has now separated again through erosion.
