The one seemingly no more solid than the other.

Hello,

To the west we approach the great uninhabited marsh islands that form the northern boundary of Tangier Sound: South Marsh, Holland, Spring and Bloodsworth. Some are giants as Chesapeake islands go, but they hardly seem so. Always have the feeling of being in a great ocean in this part of the Bay. There are broad sweeps of open water and low marshes on every point of the compass, the one seemingly no more solid than the other.

How can I interpret the part in bold? What does “the one” refer to?
