Okidaitōjima
, also spelled as Oki Daitō Island or Oki-Daitō or Oki-no-Daitō, previously known as , is an abandoned island in the Daitō Islands group southeast of Okinawa, Japan. It is administered as part of the village of Kitadaitō, Shimajiri District, Okinawa.
==Geography==
Okidaitōjima is a relatively isolated coralline island, located approximately south of Minamidaitōjima, the latest island of the archipelago, and south of Kitadaitōjima. Naha, Okinawa is to the northwest. As with the other islands in the archipelago, Okidaitōjima is an uplifted coral atoll with a steep coastal cliff of limestone (the former fringing coral reef of the island), and a depressed center (the former lagoon of the island). The island is roughly triangular in shape, with a circumference of about and an area of . The highest point is above sea level.
Due to extensive phosphate mining operations in the early 20th century, and decades of use as a bombing and gunnery range by the United States Navy, the island has very little topsoil and no trees.
Okidaitō has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification ''Cfa'') with very warm summers and mild winters. Precipitation is significant throughout the year; the wettest month is June and the driest month is February. The island is subject to frequent typhoons.
