1000 or one thousand is the natural number following 999 and preceding 1001. In most English-speaking countries, it is conventionally written with a comma separating the thousands unit: 1,000.

An island /ˈaɪlənd/ or isle /ˈaɪl/ is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water. Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys.

A lake is an area of variable size filled with water, localized in a basin, that is surrounded by land, apart from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake.

Ansel is a name derived from the same root as Anselm, a mediaeval Germanic name of uncertain meaning, perhaps ‘follower of a nobleman’ or ‘god’s helmet’.

Wilderness or wildland is a natural environment on Earth that has not been significantly modified by civilized human activity.
