Abstract: The Islet Without Name is on the Danube River, located near the Romanian bank, between km 493.3 and km 471.4. Representing one of the most recent fluvial islet on the
Danube River, the Islet Without Name began to form in the last 30 years. If, initially, in the sector where the islet is currently located, only a sandy bar emerged in the summer-autumn seasons, now is a permanent landform, covered by forest vegetation. In 2015 and 2016, several field campaigns were carried out to geomorphological changes under certain hydrometeorological conditions. The results obtained shows the continuous dynamism of this fluvial landform.

Keywords: Islet Without Name, Danube River, summer-autumn season, field observations.
