I'll take half of this for $50, Merv... A sky island is an elevated eco system surrounded by, but completely separated from, a very different bio system. As in a high mountain hardwood forest surrounded by desert. Fairly common in New Mexico, U.S., and northern Mexico.
I haven't a clue as to the name of even a non-famous one! Unless you're referring to the place where Lando Calrissian was administrator ("Cloud City") when Han Solo landed the 'Millennium Falcon'... (How come I can remember all the facts to a fictional movie and not have any idea of reality?) Stitchawl |

Laputa? A city in the sky in Gullivers Travels, which floated around without being anchored to the ground.

O.K... lets stay with Biology/Science questions a bit more... They are the only ones I know...
Which bird regularly travels as far as 2000 miles from its nest to find food for its young? Stitchawl |

I'm thinking albatross, like the sort that nest in the South Island of New Zealand. They're amazing creatures.

This week the Secretary-General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, remarked that he often felt he had benefited from an Auckland University education. He didn't actually attend my local, so what did he mean by this remark?
