Central Island
The islands take their name from the large central island of Babar which is roughly 20 miles across and 60 miles around. Babar Island has a maximum elevation of approximately 750 meters and is lightly covered with sub-tropical montane forest, although the 5 rivers and 2 large year-round springs afford tropical forest in their narrow ravine courses.
