The Loaita Bank is one of the significant maritime features in the Spratly Islands. It is about long on its NE-SW axis, and extends from Loaita Island to the NW of Dangerous Ground.〔(NGA Chart 93044 ) shows the area NW of Dangerous Ground.〕 The bank contains a number of maritime features, including shoals, reefs, an island, two sand cays, and a lagoon:〔 *Loaita Island () *Lankiam Cay () *Loaita Nan *Loaita Reef *and numerous less well defined/named shoals and reefs. At the NE end of the bank there is "a ridge of foul ground that is an extension" of the bank; Menzies Reef () lies at the NE end of this ridge, inside Dangerous Ground.〔''Sailing Directions'', pg.10, section 1.27.〕 It is neighboured by the Thitu Reefs and Subi Reef to the NW, Irving Reef to the east, North Danger Reef to the north, and the Tizard and Union Banks to the south. ==References== category:Spratly Islands 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loaita Bank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
