Line 59:
* There's a [[Turtle Island]] in the first book of [[David Drake]]'s ''[[The Lord of the Isles]]'' series. True to Drake's own brand of "realistic" fantasy, the only life present is sea plants.
* Near the end of ''Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War'' Candy Quakenbush washes up on the shores of an island and happily dozes. The island is not actually a turtle, but another kind of creature entirely, with a tree and other foliage growing straight out of its back. Interestingly, Candy first realizes she must be on a creature instead of an island because real islands in the Abarat are frozen at a single hour of the day, and she notices that the light has changed since she washed ashore.
* The trope is referenced in [[Star Trek: Titan]]: ''Over a Torrent Sea'', when the characters observe floating "islands" in the ocean of planet Droplet. Torvig asks a Chelon crewman (as the name suggests, Chelon are turtle-men) if they're relatives of his.
* ''[[Artemis Fowl]]: The Time Paradox'' has Kraken, which are described as an "acorn barnacle, albeit a barnacle which could easily house an Olympic Stadium or two". They are often mistaken for islands. They become a plot point and a [[Chekhov's Gun]].
