Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox islands Ilhéu de Cima is an uninhabited island of Cape Verde. It is part of the Ilhéus do Rombo islet group, located Шаблон:Convert east of Ilhéu Grande, the other main islet of the group, and Шаблон:Convert northeast of the island Brava. They are administratively a part of the Brava municipality. Surrounding islets include Ilhéu Luiz Carneiro, Ilhéu Sapado, and Ilhéu do Rei. The island is part of the integral nature reserve Ilhéus do Rombo,[1] famous for its seabird colonies.[2]

The southern part of the islet is the highest, culminating at Шаблон:Convert.[3] This is where the Ilhéu de Cima Lighthouse is situated,[4] the only building on the island. The islet was mentioned as "Ghuay" in the 1747 map by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin.[5]

Notable endemic fauna found on the island include the Iago sparrow. In the mid-1950s, W. R. P. Bourne observed females remaining in flocks while males began to take up locations on rocky slopes from which they could sing.[6] A species of sponge Esperiopsis cimensis was found in the deep waters surrounding the islet.[7]
