Any area of land (excluding continents) surrounded completely by water is called an island. This for example could be a small island of a few square metres in a lake which itself is located on an island in an ocean or sea. Most are naturally occurring but some small islands have been artificially created. As a further note, some can be quite large, e.g. Great Britain is an island over 200,000 square kilometers surrounded by waters that include the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the North Sea on another.
