Forest-clad floating island drifts across BC's Williston Lake
TL;DR Summary
A newly formed forested island, about 70 by 140 metres, appeared in Williston Lake in northern British Columbia and then moved with winds, shifting from its initial position near the Ospika Arm; BC Hydro says the origin is likely erosion and high water, and will monitor for further movement while warning boaters not to climb it.
