This is the largest island in the archipelago and has an area of 2.45 km². It is pentagon shape and has steep cliffs, 70-90 metres high above sea-level. The interior is flat, on average about 100 metres. Only three summits, remnants of former volcanic cones, overlook the plateau with a maximum height of 163 metres (Pico da Atalaia).

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Neogene : 11.71 ± 0.48 Ma to 3.36 ± 0.16 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
