geography

The name of the island is also used as a name for the Ulebsechel Islands in the Rock Islands area . The island is immediately south of Koror and is only separated from it by Ngerikuul Bay . In some places the waterway is only a few meters wide. The coastline is characterized by mangroves and the rugged structure of the former reef crown . Numerous bays and headlands form a confusing mosaic. In the south, towards the Omekang Reef , the island fans out and to the north stretches a long narrow strip of land, which is only separated from the adjacent island of Ngermalk to the north by the narrow Ongelunge Channel . To the south, the Toachel ra Ngel (Geru-suido, Ngel-Einfahrt, Ngell Channel) separates the island from the reef in the area of ​​the Ngederrak Reef Conservation Area . Many smaller islands adjoin the island. In Ngerikuul Bay these are Iberor Islets , Kuat , Ngellang , Bukrrairong , Ngerbechetei Islets , Ngetkuml , Ngerumetochel , Ngedesakr , Tengetcheyangel , Toirius , Ngertechiel , Meduu , as well as Ngerchebukl and Ucheliungs . The island is densely forested and not permanently inhabited.
