The Cocos Islands and Keeling Islands are a small territory in the Indian Ocean. They cover just over 5 square miles (14 sq. km), and have a population of just under 700 people. Geographically the islands are rather remote, falling somewhere between Australia and Sri Lanka. The Cocos Islands are made up of two atolls. North Keeling Island is one large horseshoe-shaped island. The South Keeling Islands is a large atoll with 26 individual islets, but only two of these islets are truly inhabited.
