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

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 10:36

A mysterious island appeared in the middle of a lake in Canada and then disappeared without a trace. The phenomenon, compared to the "Stone Raft" of fiction, caught the attention of researchers and the local population. The island, which floated on the water's surface, ended up being located again, but this time near the shore and about 30 kilometres from where it had initially been spotted. The case continues to intrigue experts, who are trying to understand how a landmass can move on its own along a lake.
