Nins

Nins, also known as Nings or Nim, is a small, uninhabited island in the Tanimbar Islands archipelago of Maluku Province, Indonesia. Located in the southeastern Moluccas, it is situated west of Yamdena Island and north of Larat Island. The island is geographically characterized by its low-lying terrain and is surrounded by coral reefs.

Historically, Nins has had little documented human settlement or activity. Its primary significance lies in its ecological role within the Tanimbar Islands ecosystem. The waters surrounding Nins are part of a biodiverse marine environment, supporting various species of fish and other marine life, typical of the Coral Triangle region. The island itself is sparsely vegetated, with limited flora adapted to its tropical, maritime climate.

Due to its isolation and lack of permanent population, Nins is not a center of economic or cultural activity. It serves more as a geographical marker and a component of the broader Tanimbar Islands' natural landscape. Its remoteness means that access is typically via small boats from nearby inhabited islands. The island does not possess significant infrastructure or tourist facilities.
