Introduced into the article Campbell Island (the article Jacquemart Island did not exist that time) by User:EvilMonkey on 14 April 2005 from an unknown source (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Campbell_Island&diff=13010305&oldid=12280626):
(It is quite obvious that these geographical coordinates are incorrect because if you use the link with MSN maps, display the map and then click with your computer mouse on the area where Jacquemart Island lies, you will see that the map jumps significantly. Therefore, this geographical coordinates must be wrong.)
