About
Floa*ng
Islands
in
Turkey
and
in
the
World
It
is
known
that
there
are
floa9ng
islands
iden9fied
by
a
religious
func9onary
in
the
area
of
Della
Regina
in
Italy
in
1671
which
were
inves9gated
between
1684
and
1830;
and
found
in
the
area
of
Albule
near
Tivoli
in
Italy
in
1753
inves9gated
between
1857
and
1889.
Thus,
it
took
330
years
for
this
scien9fic
issue
to
earn
fame
in
our
country.
However,
Saraçoğlu,
H.
concluded
that
there
are
floa9ng
islands
in
Arsiyan
in
his
book
called
“Flora,
Rivers
and
Lakes”
which
was
published
in
Teacher’s
Book
Series
by
Ministry
of
Na9onal
Educa9on
of
Turkey
in
1990.
This
issue
did
not
aYract
aYen9on
since
the
books
of
this
praiseworthy
geographer,
who
does
not
have
academic
studies,
are
not
read
or
wriYen.
