 To demonstrate how we can join data together from two dataframes spatially using spatial polars, we'll join some lake polygons with some administrative boundaries to see which lakes are in which countries.

 Of the original 24 lakes and 177 bounaries, we have 36 rows now, beacause there are a few that cross the borders of the boundaries and were joined to more than one.  Lake Victoria is one of these lakes, it intersects both Kenya and Uganda
 
 The resulting dataframe has a row for each lake name/geometry from the lakes dataframe and the SOVEREIGNT and geometry_boundary from the boundary df where the lake intersects an admin boundary.
