There's a lot of islands in Lago Gaun.

Found this one:

 

"Barro Colorado Island (BCI) is located in the man-made Gatun Lake in the middle of the Panama Canal. The island was formed when the waters of the Chagres River were dammed to form the lake in 1913. When the waters rose, they covered a significant part of the existing tropical forest, but certain hilltops remained as islands in the middle of the lake. It has an area of 15.6 km2 (6.0 sq mi).[1]

 

The island was set aside as a nature reserve on April 17, 1923 by the U.S. Government.[2] Initially administered by the Panama Canal Company under the direction of James Zetek,[3] since 1946 Barro Colorado Island has been administered by the Smithsonian, together with five adjacent peninsulas, as the Barro Colorado Nature Monument (BCNM).[2] The BCNM has an area of 54 km2.[4] It is among the most-studied areas of tropical forest in the world.[5] The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) has a permanent research center on the island, dedicated to studying tropical forest ecosystems.[4] Because the Island's diverse ecosystem has been very little altered by humans, Barro Colorado has been studied for over eighty years within a great variety of biological disciplines. Only the larger fauna disappeared from Barro Colorado after the lake was flooded in 1914. Many scientific studies have been conducted to document the changes in the species composition of the island.

 

Hundreds of scientists conduct research projects on Barro Colorado Island every year.[2]''
