Island (umbel:SubjectConcept)
island, cay, cays, islands, key, keys
Definition
A specialization of both LandBody and IslandRegion. Each instance of Island is a body of land surrounded by water. Islands are typically much smaller in area than (instances of the similarly-defined collection of) TrueContinents (q.v.), though it would be rather arbitrary to try to distinguish these types on the basis of size alone. (And note that ContinentOfAustralia is both an IslandRegion and a TrueContinent.) For groups of Islands that form a geographical cluster, see Archipelago.
