Eagle Island, eastern facing shore.  There is a relatively deep (4m) 'lagoon' between shore and the fringing reef to seaward - though here 'seaward' means facing into the lagoon of the Great Chagos Bank.  The only pass to the shore is located here, and strong longshore currents keep the area near the shore deep.  This is adjacent to the 1975 expedition camp site.  Photo 1999.
