9. Floating Island
Where: Mexico
The small island built in the eastern coast of Mexico on top of heaps of plastic bottles and boxes is designed by British Artist Richard Sowa. Richard says, "Floating islands can be all over the globe, on rivers, lakes and in protected oceans. They can provide sustainable habitats for plants, animals and humans, and can even be made on dry ground in potential flood areas such as Bangladesh."

10. Peberholm Island
Where: Denmark to Sweden
This is one of the few pieces of land that connects two countries through the sea. The island is actually a bridge tunnel just like the one in Umihotaru. Peberholm is also home to numerous birds and plant species which were not brought in but grew all by themselves.

1: he Expenditure involved in such grand projects could have been used for the poorest for uplifting them from utter poverty and hunger,but men as usual have become such snobs,that for showing off they spend in such volumes, never can be imagined,those are spend thrifts who has brought the international crisis of depravity for millions of people who are unable to make the two ends meet.How god reacts to those guys involved will be a thing to watch with interest.
