Mayotte, also known by its Comorian name, Maore (or Mahore), is closest to the island of Madagascar and is geologically the oldest of the Comoro Islands. It is the most eroded and has slow moving, muddy streams. The island, along with several satellite islets, is surounded by a coral reef which is about a mile wide. (Another site we would very much like to find a good site for!)
