Any landform can be surrounded by water, however if it is, it is always an island. Some mountains and canyons are in oceans.
For example, the barrier reefs off the coast of Australia are definitely islands. But the mountains that form the Hawaiian Islands are also surrounded by water (the Pacific Ocean). The miles-deep trenches are canyons that go deep into the floor of the ocean like the Mariana Trench that goes 7 miles deep. Keep in mind that MOST places called "island" are surrounded by water. Mountains and canyons MAY be in water, but many are not. There are places that used to be an island that lost their "island" characteristics when the developers filled in the connecting waterway to make access easier. Barrier reefs form when coral building makes the island at a certain depth off shore.
Until it fills in from storm deposits of sand or from developer activity it will remain an island.

Example of one rainforest tribe. What meat do they eat? Skunk pigs or peccaries, birds, and monkeys. They never eat jaguars or snakes because they believe these animals hold special spiritual significance for them. Fish,crocodile and dolphin (river) gives them a balanced and varied diet. The Waodani people have a significant interest in the trees and plants around them in the rainforest. They've acquired first-hand knowledge over the years regarding the making of medicines, poisons, and even entheogens, (plants that are known to open spiritual awareness) using the plantlife in the rainforest. The peach palm tree, native to the rainforest, is used to fashion blowguns for hunting. They also eat the fruit from the peach palm. Balsa wood, also a tree in the rainforest, is used in special Waodani ceremonies.
