North Brother, an uninhabited island of the Andaman Archipelago.
The Brother Islands North and South are situated North of Little Andaman Island. Almost flat thickly wooded island fringed by reef around, lies on starboard (right) side of the vessel approaching from Chennai (Madras).

The island has to be cautiously approached on North-West side. The Lighthouse is about half a Km from the landing point. There are Brother and Sister Islands between South Andaman and Little Andaman Island. The GI Trestle tower was erected during 1992-93. The 500 mm equipment with electronic flasher was installed on the tower and was commissioned on 17th April 1993.

There is a light house on the island which is not seen in the imagery. www.dgllnoida.gov.in/anthaman/NORTH%20BROTHER%20ISLAND....

The polygon follows the high-tide line deduced from the vegetation as seen on GoogleMaps images. CAVEAT: The images apparently were taken before the 2004 earthquake which may have lowered or raised the land by 1 meter or more.
