 Rutland Island - Definition 

Rutland Island is an island located across the Macpherson Strait from Port Blair on South Andaman Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The island spans an area of about 1.2 sq km. It was home to the most obscure of all Andamanese tribes, largely the Jarawas.

Rich in marine life, the shallow waters near the island have a good representation of smaller fish and coral. The island also offers an ideal base for training open water divers. The vegetation of Rutland Island is similar to that of North Sentinel Island with dry sandy soils. Though hilly, the island is overgrown with fairly open jungle and brush.
