The most easterly island of the archipelago, Andrott (Androth) lies 222 km off the Kerala Coast of India and 70 km north from Kalpeni. Andrott is the largest island of the Lakshadweep islands with an area of 4.8 km², measuring 4.5 km in length (east to west) and up to 1 km in width (north to south). A fringing reef surrounds much of the island, enclosing an extremely narrow lagoon.
The island is located upon the southwestern edge of a large submarine platform — a structure that is just about visible in the above image.
