===In the Atlantic Ocean===

The location of [[Atlantic|Atlantis]] in the [[Atlantic Ocean]] has certain appeal given the closely related names. Popular culture increasingly places Atlantis there which perpetuates the original Platonic ideal. Several hypotheses place the sunken island in Northern [[Europe]], including [[Sweden]] (by [[Olof Rudbeck]] in ''[[Atland]]'', 1672–1702), or in the [[North Sea]]. Some have proposed the [[Celtic Shelf]] and [[Andalusia]] as possible locations, and that there is a link to [[Ireland]].[Atlantis "Evidence" Found in Spain and Ireland|http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/08/0819_040819_atlantis.html] The [[Canary Islands]] have also been identified as a possible location, west of the Straits of Gibraltar but in close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. Various islands or island groups in the Atlantic were also identified as possible locations, notably the [[Azores]]. The submerged island of [[Spartel]] near the Strait of Gibraltar has also been suggested.[http://antiquity.ac.uk/ProjGall/kuhne/ A location for "Atlantis"? Rainer W.
