Andros, Fragmented archipelago in The Bahamas.
Andros spans 100 miles from north to south and 45 miles at its widest point, consisting of multiple islands connected by mangrove swamps and channels.
The initial settlement in 1788 included 22 white family leaders and 132 enslaved individuals who cultivated 813 acres of agricultural land.
Local artisans produce Androsia Batik textiles at Fresh Creek factory, maintaining traditional handcrafting methods established in the 1970s.
Four airports with paved runways serve Andros, including Andros Town International Airport, which handles both domestic and international flights from Nassau.
The eastern coast features a 190-mile barrier reef adjacent to the Tongue of the Ocean, a 2,000-meter-deep underwater trench.
