Seafood is central to island food, with crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters landed by small boats. British islands range from low chalk and sandstone to rugged sea cliffs cut by glacial erosion. English is the main language, with Welsh on Anglesey and Scottish Gaelic on some Hebridean islands. Australian island communities have strong surf lifesaving, fishing and farming traditions, and many were used for sealing, whaling and lighthouse keeping in the nineteenth century.
