John,
While Google maps are loading very slowly today (you broke it! ;-) ),
I can see the satellite images.. I am not sure if you meant some
particular scale that is not available...
As a matter of fact, it is the map itself that doesn't load, while the
"Earth" image does.
Here it is:

But I was not able to find them by name, only via the coordinates
that I got from here:

When I was trying to find these island by name, it just wasn't loading
anything (or rather showing the last place I searched for).
I actually was able to find those by name - just now, some 10 minutes
later. And it is in the correct place.
I suspect that their map database is experiencing difficulties.
Maybe everybody is trying to look where Baltimore or Nepal is.
HTH,
Igor

They've EFFED up the maps and made them almost completely unusable.
"Almost" as in there's no such thing as a "perfect idiot" because no
one's perfect.
I like to use the maps to find places that are in the news. Helps me to
grasp what's going on. There was a story yesterday about the U.S.
involving it in a dispute between China and Japan about some islands. If
you search for those islands in the new Google Maps, it says they're in
BELGIUM.
If you do manage to find the location in spite of Google's best effort
to misdirect you, there's no satellite view any more.
It's like they have to prove their programmers can shove their heads SO
MUCH FARTHER up their assholes than Micro$oft ever could.
