Island in Different Languages: A small piece of land surrounded by water, smaller than a continent. An island can occur in an ocean, a sea, a lake, or a river. It is called an archipelago when there are a lot of islands in it. Oceans, lakes, and rivers throughout the world are dotted with islands. There is a great difference in their size, climate, and the types of organisms that inhabit them. A boat, bridge, airplane, or strong swimmer is the only way to reach an island. Getting there by land does not make it an island. The majority of islands are barren rocks with few plants or animals. On the other hand, there are places on the planet that are among the most crowded. A major city in Japan is Tokyo, located on Honshu Island.
