The Gosper island (Mandelbrot 1977), also known as a flowsnake (Gardner 1989, p. 41), is a fractal that is a modification of the Koch
snowflake . The term "Gosper island" was used by Mandelbrot (1977) because
this curve bounds the space filled by the Peano-Gosper
curve .
It has fractal dimension
(OEIS A113211 ).
Gosper islands can tile the plane
(Gardner 1989, p. 41).
