El Ojo, also known as the Island of the Eye or the Circular Island, is an unusual and mysterious island located in the Paraná River Delta, in northwestern Argentina. This island has a diameter of 120 meters and rotates slowly, creating a perfect circular shape. The island moves among the clear and cold waters of the lagoon, a phenomenon completely unique to this area. This unusual phenomenon is so perfect that it seems unbelievable.
The island is constantly rotating, and scientists link this strange movement to the presence of large natural springs that create water currents that can move the island.
However, some dispute the science behind the rotation and see it as a phenomenon linked to extraterrestrial life, writes A2 CNN.
The island was discovered in 2016 by Argentine filmmaker Sergio Neuspiller, who was looking for a location for his film about paranormal phenomena. It was only when he returned to the site that he realized that the island had changed position, and its movement was confirmed by Google satellite images taken at different times. The recordings also showed that the island had existed in the Paraná River delta for 20 years, since 2003.
Floating islands are formed when the roots of a river plant break away from the bottom because the water has become too deep. It is common for these islands to move, that is, the wind moves them back and forth. In Lake Titicaca, for example, a group of 120 such islands is inhabited by the Uru tribe, but they require constant care due to their fragile and unstable structure. However, unlike these, El Ojo is very compact.
It is possible that this island is actually a broken piece of land, which, due to its rotation, has caused what is known professionally as "rotational scaling", where the edges rub together and thus form its circular shape. Some attribute this phenomenon to the presence of a natural spring within the swamp, which would explain why the island moves so regularly. But the spring theory cannot explain why the island's soil is so hard.
Some find similarities between the shape and movement of El Ojo Island and glacial disks, nearly perfect circles of ice that spin on slow currents.
Neuspiller tried to raise funds to explore the island, but failed, so the forces that rotate El Ojo and its unique characteristics remain unknown. The soil on the surface of El Ojo is very hard, which is not the case in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the water surrounding this island is unusually clear and cold, a very strange phenomenon for this area. (A2 Televizion)
