North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. It lies to the west of the southern part of South Andaman Island. Most of the island is forested.[4] It is small, located away from the main settlements on Great Andaman, surrounded by coral reefs, and lacks natural harbors.

A group of indigenous people, the Sentinelese, live on North Sentinel Island. They speak the Sentinelese language[5] and their present numbers are estimated to be between 50 and 400 individuals.[1] They reject any contact with other people, and are among the last people to remain virtually untouched by modern civilization.
