It is 38 km SSE of Cosmoledo Atoll, located at (10°06′S 47°45′E).It is a raised coral island of most peculiar form: a single stretch of land, more than 1 km (nearly one mile) at the widest, almost entirely encloses a shallow lagoon. This has a maximum depth of 3 metres (10 ft), and the only exit is a winding passage in the southwest, called Gueule Bras Channel.Astove Island measures nearly 6 km (3.7 mi) north to south and about 4 km (2.5 mi) at most east to west. The land area is 4.96 km2 (1.92 sq. mi.), and the total area including the lagoon 9.5 km2 (3.7 sq. mi.). The only settlement, on the western coast, has been abandoned since the 1980s. There is a grass airstrip on the north east point of the island, and remnants of a former coconut and sisal plantation. Today, the island is rarely visited - usually by scientists researching the lagoon's ecology - but the near-vertical drop-off from its outer reef edge is an occasional destination for diving cruises."@en }
