A Mysterious Island Has Emerged in a Canadian Lake
A floating island loaded with green, healthy-looking trees has been spotted drifting around Williston Lake in Canada, and we've never seen anything like it.

"Technically, it's more like a raft than an island, with trees and other plants growing on something seemingly buoyant, like driftwood."
"The reservoir is managed by BC Hydro, a power company that harnesses electricity from the dam."
"It doesn't appear to be there in the days before, and it's unclear where it went in the days after."
". . . the floating island may have formed on the shore across several years, breaking off and floating freely when the water levels reached those record peaks."
"Williston Lake is massive – the seventh largest reservoir in the world – and as far as we know, that floating island could still be bobbing around out there somewhere."
We need some British Columbia canoeists to paddle out and investigate this mysterious island.
