A floating island is a unique and fascinating natural or artificial phenomenon characterized by a mass of vegetation, soil,
or other organic material that floats on the surface of a body of water. These islands can vary greatly in size, ranging from small patches of floating plants to larger masses capable of supporting trees, shrubs, and even small wildlife habitats.
Floating islands can occur naturally in lakes, wetlands, and slow-moving rivers, often forming when vegetation detaches from the shoreline or when organic materials accumulate and bind together over time.
