Yomejima, Desert island in Ogasawara Village, Japan.
Yomejima spans 0.81 square kilometers and features rocky coastal cliffs surrounded by Pacific waters near the northern Mukojima archipelago.
The island supported 20 residents in 1918 who maintained agriculture and livestock farming before becoming completely uninhabitated after World War II.
The name translates to Bride Island in Japanese, relating to local traditions and stories passed through generations in the Ogasawara community.
Access to this protected natural reserve requires special permits and boat transportation from Chichijima, located 50 kilometers to the south.
The island serves as a breeding ground for black-footed albatrosses and witnessed the return of short-tailed albatrosses in 2016.
