Isla Aves, Caribbean island in Lesser Antilles, Venezuela.
Isla de Aves extends 375 meters in length and 50 meters in width, rising 4 meters above the Caribbean Sea level.
The island became part of Venezuela through a ruling by Queen Isabella II of Spain in 1865, settling disputes with Dutch and American authorities.
The Federal Dependencies of Venezuela maintain a scientific naval base named Simon Bolivar on the island since 1978 for research operations.
Access to the island requires special authorization from Venezuelan authorities due to its status as a protected wildlife refuge since 1972.
The island's position serves as a reference point for maritime borders between Venezuela, United States, France, and neighboring Caribbean territories.
