The formation of an artificial island in a body of water is effected by injecting a gellable, cross-linkable fluid, such as a blend of a water-soluble polymer and a cross-linking agent therefore, from a vessel below the surface of the water and moving the vessel to form a strip of a gelled mass. The gellable fluid is injected such that it extends from the floor of the body of water to the surface thereof. A dense solid material may be incorporated in the gellable fluid. An exposed section may be formed on the strip by either injecting a gas along with the gellable fluid in the upper region thereof, or pouring additional gellable fluid over the formed strip prior to complete setting of the surface of the gellable mass. The strip may be formed to enclose a section of water and the water in said enclosed section may be displaced with solid load-bearing material, or ice may be built up within the enclosed section to serve as a load supportive structure.
