A Lens about the best Island

The problem is, what and where is the best Island. Is there one?
This is where I need your help. I have created a module for you to add your Lens and a module for offsite links. This is a better way to be seen than just joining any old Lens.

The world understands, islands are under threat. 

Low level islands like the Maldives will face extinction from rising sea levels. The world needs to tackle Climate Change urgently. Lots of talk but still limited action. Here is my idea to get things moving

An island () or isle () is any piece of land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls are called islets. A key or cay is another name for a small island or islet. An island in a river or lake may be called an eyot, .

There are two main types of islands: continental islands and oceanic islands. There are also artificial islands. A grouping of geographically and/or geologically related islands is called an archipelago.

The word island comes from Old English igland (from 'ig', similarly meaning 'island' when used independently, and -land carrying its contemporary meaning). However, the spelling of the word was modified in the 15th century by association with the etymologically unrelated Old French loanword isle, which itself comes from the latin word insula.
