Islands in the Alphonse Group

The Alphonse Group consists of two atolls that are only two kilometres (1.2 miles) apart, separated by a deep channel:

  1. Alphonse Atoll in the north, with only one island, Alphonse Island
  2. St. François Atoll in the south, with the islands St. François and Bijoutier

Only Alphonse Island is inhabited. The aggregate land area of all three islets in both atolls is than 2.21 km2 (1 sq mi), but the total area including reefs and lagoons amounts to roughly 65 km2 (25 sq mi).
