Redonda, Administrative division and volcanic island in Antigua and Barbuda.
Redonda is an uninhabited volcanic island belonging to Antigua and Barbuda in the eastern Caribbean. Steep cliffs define its rugged shoreline and give the island a striking appearance from the sea.
Columbus reached the island in 1493 during his second voyage to the Americas and named it. Mining of phosphate from bird guano deposits took place in the 1800s and early 1900s, after which the island was abandoned.
Christopher Columbus named the island Santa Maria la Redonda during his second voyage to the Americas in 1493.
The island is uninhabited and rarely visited, so exploring it requires a boat tour or guide from a nearby island. Expect rough conditions and be prepared for a sea journey to reach it.
An environmental group removed invasive species from the island, allowing native plants to return and flourish. This recovery shows how abandoned places can heal when left alone with some help.
