YOU CAN LITERALLY EAT THIS ISLAND

Islands are bodies of land surrounded by water. Continents, which are much bigger, are not considered islands. Australia is the smallest continent and is more than three times the size of Greenland, the largest island. There are countless islands in the ocean, lakes, and rivers around the world. They vary greatly in size, climate, and the kinds of organisms that inhabit them. Many islands are quite small and cover only a portion of a hectare (one acre). These tiny islands are often called islets. Many islands in rivers are sometimes called eyots or aits. Other islands are huge and cover an area of about 2166000 square kilometers (836000 square miles). Some islands like the Aleutian Islands in Alaska get cold all year long. Others like Tahiti lie in warm tropical waters. Many Islands are thousands of kilometers from the nearest mainland while other islands are found in closely spaced archipelagoes. For example, Tokyo is located on Honshu while Manhattan is located on Manhattan Island in New York City.

Barrier islands (3) are narrow and lie parallel to coastlines. Some are a part of the continental shelf (continental islands) and made of sediment—sand, silt, and gravel. Barrier islands can also be coral islands, made from billions of tiny coral exoskeletons. Barrier islands are separated from the shore by a lagoon or a sound. They are called barrier islands because they act as barriers between the ocean and the mainland. They protect the coast from being directly battered by storm waves and winds.

However, some Peruvian islands have floating islands made out of Totoro roots and reeds that occupy a corner of Lake Titicaca. The cool thing about Euros is that these eyelets are human-made- they were built by layering Totoro roots and Reeds. Tutora is water resistant and can be used for making boat roofs mattresses and more. These eyelets are also edible, with the plant that the islands are made of able to be eaten. However, there is a serious downside- every 15 to 20 days, the Reeds composing the islets rot, so they need to be replaced with new ones. Additionally, the Titicaca Waters can be pretty tumultuous, so the locals needed to find a way to stop the islands from constantly drifting away. To do this, they constructed eucalyptus rods - which serve as anchors - in the bottom of the lake. Despite their small size, there are two languages spoken on these islands: this one and that one which I cannot speak. People living on these islands are pretty self-sufficient; they can even weave their own fabric and make stunning outfits out of Euros materials. There's even a radio station on the main island and tourists can book lodges online

The island of Mcgingo is home to over 131 people who live off the abundant fish stocks in the waters around the island. There are no hospitals, schools, or public institutions on the island, but a 12-room hotel and two tailor shops exist. Most of the buildings on the island are made of metal, and there are many makeshift huts dotting the alleyways. The only brick building on the island is for boat engines. The owner of most of the fishing boats in the area is Leonard Obala.

There are many different Island types in the world, some of which are much larger than others. The smallest and densest Island is Regima Island - there are only 55 human residents on it, but over a hundred four pod cats! They say the fluffy residents are really sweet, used to being around people. The moment you step on Regima Island, you'll be greeted by a scratching cat. There's even a Shrine to the kitty on that island - it's very rare!
