Kerphi

Kerphi is a small, uninhabited island located in the Indian Ocean, approximately 1,500 kilometers southwest of the Maldives. The island is part of the Chagos Archipelago, which is a British Overseas Territory. Kerphi is known for its pristine coral reefs and diverse marine life, making it a popular destination for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. The island is also home to several endemic species, including the Kerphi fruit bat and the Kerphi scops owl. Despite its ecological significance, Kerphi remains largely unexplored and unspoiled, preserving its natural beauty for future generations. The island's remote location and lack of human habitation contribute to its status as a protected area, with efforts underway to conserve its unique ecosystems and biodiversity.
