Well done Bookbinder, Icarus it is, I could not see beyond Ice/Iceberg

My immediate answer to A was Atlantic, there is little else between Gibraltar and America, but, I cannot see it as a 'Legendary Exit'

[Mamyalynne]

I think Atlantis is a good shout given it's reputed proximity to the Pillars of Hercules which is seen as a gateway.

I agree with you and Bookbinder Mammalynne, it is just the location which is, bugging me. Atlantis is supposedly in the Mediteranean, the 'wrong' side of Gibraltar

[Mamyalynne]

I take your point, there are of course many theories on Atlantis that vary.

Worth a thought if nothing else.

A M is now bugging me.
