geography

The almost vegetation-free islet is the second largest island of the Ilhéus do Rombo. This group of islands is located around seven kilometers northeast of the island of Brava . Four kilometers west of Ilhéu de Cima is Ilhéu Grande , the largest and westernmost island of the Ilhéus do Rombo. The islands of Ilhéu Luíz Carneiro, Ilhéu Sapado and Ilhéu do Rei are only a few hundred meters in diameter. There are also some other smaller rocks rising out of the water. Overall, the area is very dangerous for shipping, which is why there is a lighthouse on the southern tip of Ilhéu de Cima at about 80 meters above sea level.
