🌴 Andros, The Bahamas

Andros is an archipelago in The Bahamas. Politically considered a single island, Andros in total has an area greater than all the other 700 Bahamian islands combined. The land area of Andros consists of hundreds of small islets and cays connected by mangrove estuaries and tidal swamplands, together with three major islands: North Andros, Mangrove Cay, and South Andros. The three main islands are separated by bights, estuaries that divide the island from east to west. Andros is 167 kilometres (104 mi) long by 64 km (40 mi) wide at the widest point. It is about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of the capital city Nassau in New Providence, separated by the deep channel known as the Tongue of the Ocean. As of 2022, Andros has a population of approximately 8,000 people.
