'Great Andaman' is the main
archipelago of the
Andaman Islands of
India. It comprises five major islands. From north to south, these are
North Andaman,
Middle Andaman,
South Andaman,
Baratang and
Rutland Island. The three northern islands are the largest of the entire island group, and the islands' capital,
Port Blair, also lies in the archipelago.
Great Andaman is often considered the counterpart to
Little Andaman, another island in the Andamans.
