The second of three artificial floating islands named "Viva" has been set on the Han River in Seoul.

The Seoul Hangang Project Headquarters set the artificial island afloat near Dongjak Bridge Saturday after two days of preparation.

Viva is approximately 32-hundred square meters wide and weighs 25-hundred tons. The plan is to use it also as a three-story multi-purpose hall.

The first artificial island Vista will be launched next month and the third Terra in April.

Construction of the three floating islands began in 2007 under a plan to establish multi-purpose cultural facilities by the river. Full service will begin on the three from August.
