Mauritius occupies a total area of 2,040 sq. km in the Indian Ocean. It is made up of the main island of Mauritius and several outlying islands like the Ambre Island, Est Island, Cerfs Island, Benitiers Island, etc., as marked on the map.
The island of Mauritius is a volcanic island formed by volcanic activity around 8 million years ago. However, no volcanic activity has been recorded on the island for over 100,000 years.
Coral reefs surround the island protecting the land from storms and high waves.
The spectacular white sand beaches of the Mauritius Island give way to a broken ring of coastal mountain ranges. A plain covers the northern part of Mauritius gradually giving way to a central plateau with elevations ranging from 270 to 730 m. Bordering the plateau are low mountains. The highest peak in Mauritius, the 828 m tall Mount Piton, is located in the southwest of the plateau.
Off the coast of mainland Mauritius, there are nearly a hundred islets and rocks without any human habitation.
Lake Vacoas, marked on the map, is the primary source of water for the islanders. Important rivers include the Grand River South East and the Black River.
