Geography
Near the northern tip of the island there are pleasant cliffs; the best landing place for boats (not suitable for kayaks) is located on the SE side of the island, near a fish farm. Freshwater, which was once available on the island, cannot be found anymore.[4]
History
A small community of 24 used to live on the island,[4] which is now uninhabited, with its old houses abandoned as well as the neighbouring fields.[citation needed]
