# Malsori Island

Malsori Island (Albanian: Ishulli i Malsorit) is an island in the north-west of Albania, situated in the Buna river tributary, in close geographic proximity to Lake Shkodër.

## Etymology

In northern Albanian gheg dialect, the word Malsori means The Highlander, thus Malsori island translates as "The Highlander Island".

## Geography

Over a period of time, the island has naturally eroded into a little archipelago. Uninhabited by human population, Malsori island is part of the Dajç municipal unit, Shkodër County and has a surface area of 0.4 $km^2$ (0.15 sq mi), which makes it the third-largest island in Albania in terms of size. The nearby settlement of Darragjat serves as a connection link for access to other populated areas of the interior.
