Tromelin Island, Remote administrative island in Indian Ocean, France
The coral-formed island spans 1700 meters in length and 700 meters in width, reaching a maximum elevation of 7 meters above sea level.
French navigator Jean Marie Briand de la Feuillée discovered the island in 1722, leading to French territorial claims established on November 29, 1776.
Archaeological excavations in 2006 uncovered artifacts and structures that document survival methods of Malagasy people stranded on the island for fifteen years.
Access to the island requires specific permits from French authorities, with no permanent facilities available for general visitors or tourists.
The island functions as an Important Bird Area, supporting substantial populations of masked boobies and red-footed boobies after rat elimination in 2005.
