What do you think of when it comes to islands? Palm trees swaying in the wind? A refreshing drink? Or a relaxing white beach? It's awesome! But not all islands are so comfortable and pleasant. Have you ever heard of an island that blows yourself to pieces? Know that Robinson's drifting on the deserted island is true? There are also Treasure Island, the disappearing Atlantis, or the Lapago Islands that inspired Darwin's theory of evolution. A rich and diverse island is by no means just a piece of land surrounded by water.
