A "Desert Island" refers to a remote, uninhabited landmass surrounded by water, often depicted in literature and media as a place for survival scenarios. These islands typically feature sandy beaches, palm trees, and limited resources, making them a common setting for stories about shipwrecks or adventures. In popular culture, desert islands are frequently associated with themes of isolation and self-discovery. They are often portrayed in movies and books, such as Robinson Crusoe or Lost, where characters must learn to adapt and survive using their ingenuity and available resources.
