Coral reef
A reef surrounds much of the island, adding a second, softer outline beyond the shore and giving the small landmass more presence on the page.

The island
Juan de Nova Island lies in the Mozambique Channel between Madagascar and the African mainland. It is one of the Scattered Islands, a group of small French territories spread across the waters around Madagascar. On a map it is a small, elongated shape set against an overwhelming expanse of open sea.
The island is flat and low, formed of coral and sand, with a reef extending around much of it. Its most visible human marks are an airstrip and a small station, as it has no permanent civilian population and is used mainly for weather observation, research and a small official presence.
A Juan de Nova Island map poster is less about streets than about proportion. A small piece of land, a reef line and a single runway sit within a wide field of water, which makes for one of the most minimal compositions possible. It suits anyone drawn to remote places, scientific outposts or the geography of the Indian Ocean.
A reef surrounds much of the island, adding a second, softer outline beyond the shore and giving the small landmass more presence on the page.
The runway is one of the few straight lines on the island and one of its clearest human features on the map.
With no neighbouring land nearby, the island sits alone in the frame, surrounded by the empty sea of the Mozambique Channel.
