Corbyn's Cove Complex
Located in the Bay of Bengal, the Union Territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands is an archipelago of over 300 islands, a majority of which are uninhabited. The islands are surrounded by coral reefs, sandy beaches and clear water. The islands were used by the British in the 19th century, mainly for imprisoning Indian freedom fighters in the 'cellular jail'.

The climate in the Andaman and Nicobar is tropical. The native people of these islands are of Negroid and Monogloid stocks. The main tribes are Onge, Andamanese, Shompen, Nicobarese and Jarawa. The number of tribals is fast dwindling.
