I thought of Gibraltar too, I've seen it a few times, even have a picture of it, but though the rock is definately distinguishable, IT IS GIBRALTAR! Gibraltar is the rock itself. Ok, so you can distinguish Gibraltar from the Atlantic ocean and the entrance to the Med. But its not really like Oahu, Diamond Head or Table Mountain like South Africa. If you look at Diamond head from the sea, you know you are in Oahu, Hawaii. If you see the rock of Gibraltar, you know you are viewing Gibraltar. You aren't viewing a rock with a different name attached to a country. The ROCK IS GIBRALTAR if you might know what I may be trying to mean here. But yea....we'll take it just because it is distinguishable in its own right.
