Horsburgh Atoll
This island lies in a small separate atoll along with Goidhu and Fehendhu, as well as four smaller uninhabited islets [1]. Goidhoo Atoll (also Goidu or Goifulhafehendhu), Horsburgh Atoll in the Admiralty Chart, is separated from South Maalhosmadulhu by a Шаблон:Convert broad channel. This atoll is oval in shape and small, its greatest length being Шаблон:Convert. The total area of the atoll (including lagoon and reef flat) is Шаблон:Convert,[2] of which only Шаблон:Convert is dry land. The inner lagoon has a depth of Шаблон:Convert; it has a sandy bottom mixed with mud and clay. Unlike the lagoons of most small atolls of the Maldives, this lagoon is free from coral heads in its centre.
In the Admiralty Charts, this atoll is named after James Horsburgh, hydrographer to the East India Company and author of the "Directions for Sailing to and from the East Indies, China, New Holland, Cape of Good Hope, and the interjacent Ports, compiled chiefly from original Journals and Observations made during 21 years' experience in navigating those Seas".
