North Andaman Island

[6] It belongs to the North and Middle Andaman administrative district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

[7] the island is lying 137 km (85 mi) north from Port Blair.

The island previously had an indigenous population of the Great Andamanese, for example, the Bo, but they are no longer present: the island is populated by immigrants from the Indian mainland and their descendants.

The island is home to the highest point in the archipelago, Saddle Peak at 731 metres.

North Andaman is known for its marine life: the island's main industries are rice- and orange-growing.
