Redonda

Redonda is an uninhabited Caribbean island that is a part of Antigua and Barbuda, in the Leeward Islands, West Indies. The island is about 1.6 kilometres long, 0.5 kilometres wide, and is 296 metres high at its highest point.This small island lies between the islands of Nevis and Montserrat, 56.2 kilometres southwest of Antigua. Redonda is closer to Montserrat than to any other island; it is located at 22.5 kilometres northwest of Montserrat, and 32 kilometres southeast of Nevis.

Redonda is home to vast numbers of sea birds, and the island was an important source of guano before artificial fertilisers started to be mass-produced. Guano-mining operations started in the 1860s and ceased after the start of World War I. During these mining operations a few buildings and other installations were put in place on the island, and some physical remnants of that phase in its history are still visible.
