Navassa Island is about 2 square miles (5.2 km2).
It is found at a strategic location 90 nautical miles
(100 mi; 170 km) south of the U.S. naval base at
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
about one-quarter of the way from Haiti to Jamaica in the Jamaica Channel.
It reaches an elevation of 250 feet (76 m) at Dunning Hill 110 yards (100 m)
south of the lighthouse, Navassa Island Light.
This location is 440 yards (400 m) from the southwestern coast
or 655 yards (600 m) east of Lulu Bay.
The island's latitude and longitude is
18°24′10″N 75°0′45″W / 18.40278°N 75.0125°WCoordinates: 18°24′10″N 75°0′45″W / 18.40278°N 75.0125°W.
The terrain of Navassa Island consists mostly of exposed coral and limestone,
the island being ringed by vertical white cliffs 30 to 50 feet (9.1 to 15.2 m) high,
but with enough grassland to support goat herds.
The island is covered in a forest of just four tree species:
short-leaf fig (Ficus populnea var. brevifolia),
pigeon plum (Coccoloba diversifolia),
mastic (Sideroxylon foetidissimum)
& poisonwood (Metopium brownei).[3][4]
The Pitcairn Islands form the southeasternmost extension of the geological archipelago
of the Tuamotus of French Polynesia,
and consist of four islands: Pitcairn Island,
Oeno Island (atoll with five islets, one of which is Sandy Island),
Henderson Island and Ducie Island (atoll with four islets).
The only permanently inhabited island, Pitcairn, is accessible only by
boat through Bounty Bay.
Henderson Island,
covering about 86% of the territory's total land area
and supporting a rich variety of animals in its nearly inaccessible interior,
is also capable of supporting a small human population,
but access is difficult, owing to its outer shores'
being steep limestone cliffs made of sharp coral.
The Pitcairn Islands were formed by a centre of upwelling magma called the
Pitcairn hotspot.
The other islands are at a distance of more than 100 km (60 mi) and are not habitable.
