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.
