- Eating the straw that is used to form the floating island I am sitting on.
-
- 1. Cutting the straw bales in square shapes
-
- 2. Wooden piles are inserted in the square bales and tied together by rope to prevent them from floating away.
-
- 3. Adding in layers of straw for top bedding
-
- 4. A replica house perched on top to show cross-sectional view of the real floating island
-
- The stick is used to measure the vertical depth of the island which faces erosion over time. New layers have to be added on when depth reaches too low.
