'Is Land' was a £9,000 helium-filled sculpture of a desert island which floated above the heads of revellers at the Secret Garden Party festival recently.

Prediction - 1 of 2 things:
- This will be found deflated on the ground about 50 miles away. It will rise to the point where the pressure differential between inside and outside can no longer be contained and the envelope will burst.
- It will rise to a point of neutral buoyancy, and will eventually get shot down over North Korea.

Be careful.. If too many people are on one side of the island it could tip over! ;)

We may need to ask Hank Johnson - After an island tips over, does it float away?

It’s probably deflated and sitting in some fraternity’s basement.

Sh!t...that must be the same island that Hank Johnson (D-GA) was talking about in the committee hearing when he protested movement of troops, people, or something to Guam lest the extra weight tip it over.
