The Comoro Islands are an archipelago of four islands and several islets located in the western Indian Ocean about ten to twelve degrees south of the Equator and less than 200 miles off the East African coast. The archipelago is the result of volcanic action along a fissure in the seabed running west-northwest to east-southeast. The four major islands are Ngazidja, Mwali, Nzwani, and Mayotte. The total area of the four island is 785 square miles (2,034 square kilometers).
