Two Islands Known for or by Esperanto

One small, natural, usually uninhabited island is named Esperanto. It is among the Shetland Islands, hundred of miles south of continental Argentina.  The wikipedia article suggests ownership for it is disputed  by Chile, Argentina and Britain.

One artificial island off the coast of the city of Rimini, Italy had Esperanto as it's official language.
