The island that disappeared in Canada reappeared... 30 kilometres later

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 10:36

A mysterious island in Canada disappeared and reappeared dozens of kilometres from its original location. The phenomenon, compared to a real-life "Stone Raft", intrigued specialists and the local population.

The island initially emerged in the middle of a huge lake, where it was first spotted. Its appearance was considered unusual and caught the attention of those who managed to observe it.

After some time, the island disappeared without a trace, fueling speculation about what had happened. Its sudden absence increased the mystery surrounding the phenomenon.

Now, the same floating island has been located again, this time near the lake's shore. Its new position is approximately 30 kilometres away from where it was originally spotted.
