The Sisters (Andaman)
The Sisters are two small uninhabited islands in the Andaman Archipelago, at the northern side of the Duncan Passage,〔US Hydrographic Office (1916) (Bay of bengal Pilot ), page 288. H.O. pub. 160, Government Printing Office.〕 about 6 km southeast of Passage Island and 18 km north of North Brother:
* East Sister Island (Andaman)
* West Sister Island (Andaman)
The islands are about 250 m apart, connected by a coral reef. They are covered by forests, and have rocky shores except for a beach on the NW side of East Sister. They belong to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands Territory of India.
==History==
Before the British established a colony on the Andaman, the Sister islands were visited occasionally by the Onge people of Little Andaman Island for fishing. They may have been a waystation for their temporary settlement of Rutland Island between 1890 and 1930.〔George Weber (~2009), ''(The Tribes )''. Chapter 8 in ''(The Andamanese )''. Accessed on 2012-07-12.〕
The islands have been a wildlife refuge since 1987, with 0.36 km2.〔Government of India (2000), ''(Directory of Wildlife Protected Areas in India )''. Envis Bulettin, volume 3, issue 1. Accessed on 2012-07-12.〕
