river island
Land amid current
A river island is a landmass surrounded by flowing water within a river channel, formed by sediment deposits or erosion patterns that split the current around it.
These islands range from tiny sandbars that shift with seasonal flooding to large permanent formations supporting vegetation and sometimes human settlement.
The picnic area on the river island was only accessible by boat.
River Island is also a British fashion retail chain.
