The very name clearly indicates the role of this place. It is not about residence, but about breeding and retreat.
The uninhabited island lies within the Outer Islands and is named after the gannets found there. It is flat, exposed, and devoid of infrastructure. There is no human activity. Its significance arises from its function. As a breeding ground, the island offers peace, distance, and suitable conditions for seabirds that depend on undisturbed coastlines.
The name appears regularly in conservation plans and expert reports. The island is geographically connected to other remote atolls and island groups of the Outer Islands, which together form large ecological units. It is precisely this location, far from the main islands, that makes it valuable for bird conservation.
