  • Did you know that there's an island on a lake, on an island, on a lake, on an island - located in Canada? This phenomenon is known as a recursive island, 🏝️ and the largest example is found on Victoria Island. Interestingly, none of these geographic features have names, except for the overarching Victoria Island. But the concept of recursion doesn't stop there! It also exists among countries.📍 For instance, there's a village in the UAE surrounded by Oman, which is again surrounded by the UAE. This unique situation arose from the residents' desire to be part of different countries. And let's not forget the complex border between Belgium and the Netherlands, featuring numerous enclaves and exclaves. It's one of the most intricate borders in the world and deserves a video of its own. Explore these fascinating geographic anomalies and uncover the curious cases of recursive islands and enclaves around the world. 🌍

    Somehow reminds of a Manny quote from the Ice Age 2 movie: "If I had a dog, and that dog had a kid, and the dog's kid had a pet, that would be Sid."

    And in Australia our Capital is in its own tiny state that is within another state. So imagine Rhode Island inside Texas.
