An uninhabited island is a landmass that is not permanently occupied by humans. These islands can be found in oceans, seas, and lakes, and they often feature diverse ecosystems. They may host various wildlife, including birds, plants, and marine life, which thrive without human interference. Many uninhabited islands are protected areas, serving as important habitats for endangered species. Some are popular destinations for researchers and adventurers, while others remain untouched and isolated. Examples of uninhabited islands include Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic and Baker Island in the Pacific Ocean.
