Amini

Located in the Amindivi Islands group 5 km southwest from the island of Kadmat, the reef-fringed island of Amini (2.6 km²) lies at the northeastern extremity of the large, submarine Pitti Bank formation. The only other emergent land on the bank is that of the small and uninhabited cay of Pitti, located 42 km distant at the southwestern end. Amini measures 3 km in length with a width of 1.6 km.
