Floating Island
A floating island is a landmass that is not anchored to the seabed and instead floats on the surface of a body of water. These islands can be formed from various materials, including vegetation, soil, and debris, which accumulate over time. They are often found in lakes, rivers, and coastal areas, and can vary in size and stability.
One well-known example of floating islands is the Uros Islands in Lake Titicaca, located between Peru and Bolivia. The Uros people have constructed these islands using reeds, allowing them to live on the water while maintaining their traditional lifestyle. Floating islands can also occur naturally, created by the growth of aquatic plants and sediment accumulation.
