Great Nicobar
Great Nicobar
Great Nicobar is the largest of the Nicobar Islands of India, north of Sumatra. Indoor Point, its southernmost tip, is also the southernmost point of India. The island covers 1045 km but is sparsely inhabited, largely being covered by rainforest and known for its diverse wildlife.
The majority of the island is a biosphere reserve, home to unique animals including the megapode bird, the edible-nest swiftlet, the Crab Eating Macaque, salt water crocodile, giant leather back turtle, Malayan box turtle, Nicobar tree shrew, reticulated python and the giant robber crab
The island was severely affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake tsunami with many deaths, and was cut off from all contact for more than a day.
