Claim of "highest islands"

[edit]

The claim that this lake includes the "highest islands in the world" is sourced (to a website, at least), but utterly implausible. There is no principled lower bound on the size of something called an "island", so it is inconceivable that no higher island can be found. Indeed, I used this website to find the altitude of a lake called Lumajangdong Co as 18,739 ft, which is 5711m in real money, and used Google maps to see that it includes a number of islands. So I am going to remove the claim, and suggest that it is not plausible ever to be able to declare anything as the "highest island in the world". Imaginatorium (talk) 18:24, 27 February 2021 (UTC)the "islands" people see on lumajangdong are sand banks. Also, if there is no definition of an island, why does this summary say that's the highest islands?[reply]
