The islands of Redonda and Estorbo are two small uninhabited islands located in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of the island of Antigua in the Lesser Antilles archipelago. The islands are part of the British overseas territory of Antigua and Barbuda.Redonda Island is the larger of the two, with an area of about 1.6 square kilometers. The island was formed by an extinct volcano and has a flat, rocky surface, with some small sandy beaches and steep cliffs on the shores. The island's fauna consists mainly of seabirds, such as gannets and terns.Estorbo Island is much smaller than Redonda, with an area of only 0.15 square kilometers. The island is rocky and desert, and does not host any permanent life forms.Both islands are considered protected nature reserves and are only open for scientific research or limited ecotourism purposes. Difficult access and often adverse weather conditions make it difficult to reach the islands, but those who are able to do so can enjoy spectacular natural landscapes and a wide variety of marine flora and fauna.
