Many islands reveal their importance not on the ground, but on the map. The same is true here.

The small island appears primarily on nautical charts and overview maps and lies in the vicinity of larger reference islands, depending on the location, near Mahé or Praslin. It is uninhabited and has no infrastructure. Landings are not a significant feature. Its function lies in orientation and spatial connection to neighboring islands and reef areas.

Such entries may seem unspectacular at first glance. However, they are important because they explain distances, make routes comprehensible, and show how densely structured the islands are. Only when they are combined do they form a complete picture.

Classification
