::: The Isle of Wight is an English island and county in the English Channel five miles from the South Coast of Britain. It is situated south of the county of Hampshire and is separated from mainland Britain by the Solent. Popular as "THE" Victorian holiday resort, the Isle of Wight is known for its natural beauty and for its world-famous sailing based in Cowes. <br> It was home to the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Queen Victoria with her much loved summer residence and final home [[Osborne House]] built in East Cowes. The island is also one of the richest fossil locations for dinosaurs in Europe. <br> In 686 AD, it became the last part of the British Isles to convert to Christianity, a century after the rest of Great Britain had done so. <br> The island is the smallest ceremonial county in England at 380 km² (147 sq mi), although at low tide it is actually larger than Rutland. With a single Member of Parliament and roughly 32,000 permanent residents, it is also the most populated Parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom. It was once part of Hampshire. <br> On August 27, 1888 a massive 200 meter cylinder "appeared" along the coast of the Isle. This trench, seemingly carved sheer into the surface, formed in the center of Osbourne Manor, destroying it dropping much of the stucture into the unknown depths of the abyss. As the Avengers arrived three days later it was learned that "Stone-Apes" (as Wasp called them) were continuing to slowly move across the country-side seemingly from out of the whole in "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_ship stone ship]" patterns - which appeared to advance their "ground" of ultra-heated ground and into the (now) boiling channel. Opposite the stone ship patterns of the hole stood a single [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menhir Standing stone]. | ::: The Isle of Wight is an English island and county in the English Channel five miles from the South Coast of Britain.
