Summary[edit]

Description
English: This Earth observation image captured by Expedition 47 members aboard the International Space Station is of Juan de Nova Island, also known as Saint-Christophe. The small French tropical island is in the narrowest part of the Mozambique Channel, about one-third of the way between Madagascar and Mozambique. The Island is 3.7 miles long and 1 mile at its widest. It is a nature reserve surrounded by reefs. Forests cover about half the island and sea turtles nest on the beaches. It is largely uninhabited but the French maintain a weather station on the Island.
