諸島

Also known as island group, islands, archipelagos, island chain

一群の島々

AI overview

An archipelago is a chain, cluster, or collection of islands located in an ocean, sea, or other body of water. Archipelagos matter because they represent significant geographical features—some, like Indonesia, form entire nations—and the term itself originated from the islands of the Aegean Sea, making archipelagos important to both geography and history.

諸島（しょとう、英: Archipelago、英: Island group）とは、複数の島がまとまって存在するものをいう。島が塊状に集まったものを群島（ぐんとう）、島が列状に並んだものを列島（れっとう）ともいうが、はっきりした定義はない。地名としての使い分けは歴史的あるいは慣習的なものによるところが大きい。
