They were named the Kale,  Kapita ,  Kakatina ,  Zollies  and Rehana islands. The collection of islands was low lying and very vulnerable to the rising of the sea level. Between 1947-2014, the sea levels surrounding the islands increased from 28 inches to 39 inches, completely covering them. There was an increase in intensity of winds, atmosphere humidity and natural cycles due to climate change. Now named the “Five Lost Solomon Island”, the islands are used as an example to what to expect globally.  The ice caps in Antarctica continue to melt due to the increasing temperatures. T
