Description: An islet is a small island, typically uninhabited, found in bodies of water such as oceans, seas, rivers, or lakes. Its size can vary significantly, but it is generally characterized by being small enough not to have a permanent population. Islets can be formed by natural processes such as erosion, sedimentation, or volcanic activity. Often, these places host various forms of wildlife, including birds, reptiles, and plants that can adapt to the specific conditions of their environment. Due to their isolation, islets can serve as refuges for endangered species and are important for biodiversity. Additionally, their natural surroundings and scenic beauty make them attractive destinations for ecotourism and exploration. Geographically, islets can play a crucial role in navigation and the delineation of maritime boundaries, as well as in scientific research on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
