North Sentinel Island, Protected island in Andaman Islands, India.
The dense tropical forest covers the entire 60 square kilometer island, which rises to an elevation of 122 meters above sea level.
The British East India Company first documented signs of human life on North Sentinel Island during their maritime explorations in 1771.
The Sentinelese inhabitants maintain their traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle, using handmade tools, weapons, and canoes for fishing and hunting.
Indian law prohibits any approach within 5 nautical miles of the island to protect the indigenous population from external diseases.
The island population remains one of the last groups on Earth to reject contact with modern civilization, maintaining complete isolation from outside influences.
