The delta of Argentina’s Paraná River contains a rotating eye. “El Ojo” is a circular floating island 118 meters wide that spins in place within a slightly larger circular lake. It’s been there, silently turning, for at least 20 years — Google Earth confirms its presence in 2003.

See “A Revolving Ice Cake.”
