		While out walking near the cave in which he had slept, Gulliver is alarmed by the sudden darkening of the sky, caused by the appearance in front of the sun of a flying island.
		(Flying islands were staples in the science fiction of Swift's time.) It descends near Gulliver, the inhabitants throw down a pulley-driven chain, and Gulliver is hauled up.
		Gulliver interprets Laputa as meaning "flying island." This is one of Swift's foils, though.

	Floating island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Floating artificial islands are generally made of bundled reeds, and the best known examples are those of the Uros people of Lake Titikaka, Peru, who build their villages upon what are in effect huge rafts of bundled totora reeds.
		A "floating island" in fiction (sometimes called a "flying island"), is a fictitious landmass that flies above the surface of the earth (or in some cases through the depths of space), defying gravity.
		In many other fantasy settings flying islands or floating cities kept aloft by magic are prominent, such as the airborne cities of ancient High Netheril in the Forgotten Realms Dungeons and Dragons setting.

		We also had HMS Endurance near Bird Island on a few occasions, with our own Dirk Briggs onboard, who was flying aerial transects with their helicopter and taking pictures to conduct fur seal and penguin counts in a collaborative project between BAS and the Navy.
		Bird Island in December is a place of multiple seasons, where mornings can be rainy or snowy, sun may shine after the rain and later on the fog can switch to a shower of hail.
		In this variety of weather, the island, and especially the areas around Base, are packed with fur seals and seabirds that are born, live and die, filling the air with pungent smells and strident sounds.

		At the center of the island there is a chasm about fifty yards in diameter, from whence the astronomers descend into a large dome, which is therefore called Flandona Gagnole, or the Astronomers' Cave, situated at the depth of an hundred yards beneath the upper surface of the adamant...
		They believed the Flying Island was dependent upon other sources, more so than other sections of the Travels, and that this was not a haphazard or fortuitous piece of fancy but that every detail of its structure and mechanism was drawn carefully and thoughtfully from contemporary science.
		Such analysis is particularly important in solving the puzzle of the complex Flying Island, for magnetism and loadstones, Gilbert and Newton, "flying chariots" and the world in the moon are here welded into a new whole which takes its place as one of the most remarkable pseudo-scientific passages in the literature of the eighteenth century.

		Although his voice had gone squeaky from inhaling a bit of the gas on the side, he was still able to communicate his desire to fly from Antwerp to Arnheim and had even made himself a fetching flame-proof suit for the occasion.
		Among the myriad objects to which Panamarenko has put his name are a flying saucer made of fibre-glass, the one-man V1 rocket (designed to be the fastest way of travelling to New York), and a two-pawed camel.
		Wisely, he has decided not to use most of his subsequent installations to get him from A to B. (There have been exceptions; he is said to have had been one of the most adventurous backpackers to ever visit Switzerland by trying out his flying Rugzak in the Furka mountains).

		The Flying Island is an account of an Italian woman’s solitary stay on the Azores.
		The islanders are poised between their open generosity and simplicity, their traditions bordering on the magic and the supernatural; and the brute realism of the new American culture imported with returning workers who increasingly view the Azores not as home but as holiday destination.

		Way up in the sky, at a height of 50 metres, the flying island rises, to give an unrivaled view of Gardaland and Lake Garda.
		It's a slightly different structure to your average observation tower though, as your 'island' is attatched to the end of a support, which then one end rises of to become vertical.
		While it looks very unsafe from the outside, it feels very safe from the inside and really does provide an excellent panoramic view of everything.
