| *The Islands are an archipelago of 50 some islands in the middle of the ocean straddling the equator. The largest of these islands is about the size of Earth's Iceland. The other islands vary in size down to mere rocks in the ocean.
| |
| *There are two chains. One chain stretches southwest to northeast. At the point where it crosses the equator, another shorter chain stretches to the northwest.
