Size of this Island?

[Xerkser500]

Hi again.

I need some help for a new calc I REALLY want to get to.

I need to know what appropriate size could be applied to these large earth blocks in order to calc a certain feat. For the verse (you likely won't know it) it's from, these earth blocks are considered islands for what its worth - https://skyland.wikia.com/wiki/Skyland_(world)

So what would be the average size of an island?

We can't know without a benchmark, but that's definitely not nearing the multikilometer range given it's small even compared to the clouds surrounding it.

I wasnt expecting the multi-kilo range, however the side part of this floating island is able to hold a town within it. Where all the houses are on the left.

Would that be any helpful?

That appears to be a lighthouse on the top right. Lighthouses tend to hover around 25 m tall. You could use that to scale the rest of the island

Yeah it's a light house. Didnt think of that, it's worth a try.

That reminds me, where did you get 25 m tall for Lighthouses from?

Guesstimation. I just looked at the heights for a bunch of lighthouses around the world, and 25 meters seemed to be a valid average

If you have a human next to that lighthouse's photo you can maybe calc a better number
