 This looks like a hoaxe site on Rockall. It purports to be about the group
of islands in the middle of the North Atlantic.

First line of the history section:

What is now Rockall was once the northern highland region of a larger subcontinent, Atlantis.

"The largest of the Rockalese islands is Rockall itself (also known as Greater Rockall), at roughly twice the size of the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal)."

In the middle of the north Atlantic.

Is there any question at all whether or not this is real?

Rockall does exist, but is a tiny uninhabited rock. The dispute over who owns it is an interesting read though:
