Rockall

Rockall is a small uninhabited rocky islet in the North Atlantic, 424 kilometres / 265 miles off the Irish coast and agreed among the neighbouring nations as in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the United Kingdom.citation needed] In 1997, the UK ratified the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and thus relinquished any claim to an extension of its EEZ beyond Rockall. The remaining issue is the status of the continental shelf rights of surrounding ocean floor. These are disputed between the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Denmark (for the Faroe Islands), and Iceland. These are the exclusive rights to exploit any resources on or under the ocean floor (oil, natural gas, etc.) and should not be confused with the EEZ, as continental shelf rights do not carry any privileges with regard to fisheries.
