 Located between 6° and 14° North Latitude and 92° and 94° East Longitude lie the Andaman
                and Nicobar Islands, a union territory in India. It consists of two groups of islands. The

                islands located north of 10° north latitude are known as Andaman while islands located south
                of 10° north latitude are called Nicobar.


            More than 300 islands make up the Andamans. North, Middle, and South Andaman, known

                collectively as Great Andaman, are the main islands; others include Landfall Island, Interview
                Island, the Sentinel Islands (where the Sentinelese tribes live), Ritchie’s Archipelago, and

                Rutland Island.


            The 10-degree channel which is about 145 km long separates Little Andaman in the south from
                the Nicobar Islands.
