A ghost island in the middle of the Indian Ocean


Ross Island, an abandoned British settlement in the remote Andaman archipelago, is being taken over by its rightful owner: nature.

Situated in the Bay of Bengal, India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands are an isolated group of 572 tropical islands, of which only 38 are currently inhabited. Nautically located closer to South East Asia than India, they are known for stunning beaches, thriving marine life, rich coral reefs and largely undisturbed primary forests. But beyond the idyllic views lie a dark past.
