Laputa was the flying island and it was famous for its several characteristics. Gulliver found this country flying about 2 miles high in the air. People found in this country were able to rise or lower or put their island into a progressive motion. This island has the capacity to stand almost still in the air. There were several galleries connected to each other by means of steps. In the lowest gallery, people were seen fishing with long angling rocks. Anyone could be pulled up by chain.
