Franz Jozeph Island (or Franz Josef, Franc Jozeph, etc.) ( Albanian: Ishulli i Franc Jozefit) was an island located at the mouth of the Buna river in Albania.
Geography
The island was made up of rich alluvial soil and becomes a peninsula depending on the size of the river's flow. This island is an important nesting ground for many seabirds, especially the family Ardeidae. [1]
The island was low ground covered with a sandy seashore and dominated by alder trees. The trees are 75 years of age and reach a height of 16 m (52 ft). The island receives few foreign tourists and attracts for its quietness. [1]
The name was given to the island by Austrian cartographers in 1870. [2] It is believed that the name was chosen in honor of the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria.
Franz Joseph Island disappeared since 2011. [3] [4]
