Juan de Nova Island (French: Île Juan de Nova, pronounced [il ʒɥɑ̃ nɔva]), Malagasy: Nosy Kely)[1] is a French-controlled tropical island in the narrowest part of the Mozambique Channel, about one-third of the way between Madagascar and Mozambique. It is a low, flat island, 4.8 square kilometres (1.9 sq mi) in size.

Administratively, the island is one of the Scattered islands in the Indian Ocean, a district of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, however its sovereignty is disputed by Madagascar.

Anchorage is possible off the northeast of the island which also has a 1,300-metre (4,300 ft) airstrip. The island is garrisoned by French troops from Réunion and has a weather station.[2]
