Oooops. That wasn't supposed to be announced until after 9pm tonight
when Plan B for the Irish Backstop is revealed to be the annexation of
RoI into GB.

Just pretend you didn't see that and everything will be fine.

Point of Pedantry:

That would be into the UK, the Island of GB would still not contain the
Shannon which would continue as the longest river in the British Isles.

Irish Sea to create a land bridge.)

I had always understood that the "British Isles" included the whole of
the Irish island.

The phrase does mean that AIUI. As distinct from "Britain" or "The
United Kingdom." All three terms have different meanings.

They're displayed larger on the DM site who seem to have posted the same
set many times. The advantage of the livescience version is better
captions.

Those captions state that Australia is the second driest continent -
after Australia.

"Seventy percent of Australia qualifies as arid or semi-arid, according
to the Australian government. But water still flows. This map shows the
drainages of the second-driest continent after Australia."
