The Iles Eparses, or scattered islands, are a group of five French entities
- Bassas da India, Europa Island, Glorioso Islands, Juan de Nova Island, and
Tromelin Island - which on 1 April 1960 came under the authority of the
Minister in charge of overseas possessions. On 19 September 1960 by decree,
the islands were transferred to the charge of the Prefet of Reunion where
they remained until 3 January 2005 when they were transferred by another
decree to the Senior Administrator of the Territory of the French Southern
and Antarctic Lands (TAAF). Bassas da India: A French possession since 1897, this atoll is a volcanic seamount surrounded by reefs and awash at high tide. Europa Island: A French possession since 1897, the island is heavily wooded; it is the site of a small military garrison that staffs a weather station. Glorioso Islands: A French possession since 1892, the Glorioso Islands are composed of two lushly vegetated coral islands (Ile Glorieuse and Ile du Lys) and three rock islets. A military garrison operates a weather and radio station on Ile Glorieuse. Juan de Nova Island: Named after a famous 15th century Spanish navigator and explorer, the island has been a French possession since 1897. It has been exploited for its guano and phosphate. Presently a small military garrison oversees a meteorological station. Tromelin Island: First explored by the French in 1776, the island came under the jurisdiction of Reunion in 1814. At present, it serves as a sea turtle sanctuary and is the site of an important meteorological station. |
