I'll take half of this for $50, Merv... A sky island is an elevated eco system surrounded by, but completely separated from, a very different bio system. As in a high mountain hardwood forest surrounded by desert. Fairly common in New Mexico, U.S., and northern Mexico.

I haven't a clue as to the name of even a non-famous one!

Unless you're referring to the place where Lando Calrissian was administrator ("Cloud City") when Han Solo landed the 'Millennium Falcon'...

(How come I can remember all the facts to a fictional movie and not have any idea of reality?)

Sir - you are indeed correct as to the definition. The famous example I had in mind was Mount Kilimanjaro.

O.K... lets stay with Biology/Science questions a bit more... They are the only ones I know...

Which bird regularly travels as far as 2000 miles from its nest to find food for its young?

I'm thinking albatross, like the sort that nest in the South Island of New Zealand. They're amazing creatures.

"dovey goosey one that are not doves"... Is this the Taxonomic Classification or the Local Name?

This week the Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, remarked that he often felt he had benefited from an Auckland University education. He didn't actually attend my local, so what did he mean by this remark?
