Because they generally have low lying water around them and are still attached to the earth a few feet under

It's not like you could swim under them. lol. They're more like mountains whose peaks stick up above the water.

Very few are "floating islands" as they are called. Those are island with no connection the the sea floor. Most islands are anchored to the sea bed and would look like massive mountains if the water was removed.

Because they're assholes who don't like to live up to their stereotype.

They're anchored to the sea bed with gaffa tape.

@ThePerfectUsername This was a serious question.

In that case the top of a hill is still the top of a hill even if the whole hill's surrounded with water. @Wol62
