Narcondam Island

Narcondam Island is a small, isolated volcanic island in the northern Andaman Sea, forming the easternmost landmass of India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands union territory. Roughly 7.6 square kilometres in area, the island rises sharply from the sea to a forested peak of 710 metres, the second-highest point in the Andaman and Nicobar chain. Its steep volcanic slopes, surrounding reefs, and near-total forest cover have made it both a recognized wildlife sanctuary and a noted diving destination in the Andaman Sea. The island is administered as part of the North and Middle Andaman district and lies far closer to Myanmar than to the Indian mainland, with the nearest major Andaman landmass around 74 kilometres to the west. Its geographic isolation, small human population, and protected status have allowed a distinctive community of plants and animals to persist, most famously the Narcondam hornbill, a threatened species found nowhere else on Earth. Beyond its ecological importance, Narcondam is also a landmark in the regional geography of the Bay of Bengal, marking the eastern limit of Indian territory in the Andaman chain and serving as a focal point for discussions about maritime boundaries, conservation, and the protection of small-island ecosystems in tropical Asia.

Distance methodology

Geographic measurements, not driving distances

How nearby park distances are calculated

Distances use park boundaries whenever the available geometry allows it. When one or both boundaries are missing, the mapped park locations provide a clearly labelled estimate. Every value represents straight-line geographic separation and does not use roads or routing.

Boundary distance

Calculated between the nearest points of both park boundaries.

Location-to-boundary estimate

Estimated from one mapped park location to the nearest boundary of the other park.

Mapped-location estimate

Estimated between the mapped locations of both parks.
