What does "Island of stability mean"

The island of stability is a term that describes the possibility of elements with particularly stable numbers of protons and neutrons. This would allow certain isotopes of some transuranic elements to be far more stable than others; that is, decay much more slowly

I think this might explain it better than I can as it is a subject I didn't really go very deep, it is more to do with very heavy elements
