Seychelles - Maps of the World

The republic of Seychelles consists of 116 islands scattered over 1,000,000 sq. km. of sea in the middle of the Western Indian Ocean. The group comprises of 43 granitic islands with a land area of 245 sq. km., the largest and most populated of which is Mahé, and more than 73 coralline islands with a land area of 210 sq. km. The total area is 455 sq. km.

The granitic islands that form the main group are scattered around Mahé and all lie within a 56 km radius. The islands are of rugged formation and great scenic beauty, some seemingly rising straight out of the sea to great heights, but because of their mountainous nature, there is little flat land. Mahé is the most important island and lies between 4 and 5 degrees south of the equator, and between 55 and 56 degrees East runs down the whole length, most of which is over 300 m high, rising to the peak of Morne Seychellois at 905 m.
