In the lake was an island on which stood an immense old fortress.

The island stands on the northern sector of the reef.

When Pucky had finished, a new island of rock stood close to the sandbank.

On that island stood a great white-draped table, and two silver chairs.

If it hangs there forever, then every island must stand in some relationship to it.

Tuvalu's nine islands stand an average height of just 3 meters above sea level.

The island of Rarotonga stands over 14,750 feet (4,500 meters) above the ocean floor.

The newborn island stood steady now in the gray sea, sullenly smoldering.

Then he was gone, and the mountain and the island stood alone.

I mean I don't think the island can stand to have all that many houses built on it.
