Further Information Location Geography and Climate Apart from North Keeling Island which is approximately 24 km from the main group the islands form a typical horseshoe-shaped atoll surrounded by a coral reef. Each island has rough coral beaches to seaward and sandy beaches or mudflats on the lagoon side. The Islands are low lying and most are thickly covered with coconut palms. Wildlife consists mainly of seabirds such as Frigatebirds and Booby birds which are restricted to uninhabited islands especially North Keeling. Land crabs are common on all islands. Time Difference History Although the Cocos (Keeling) Islands were discovered in 1609 they were not inhabited until 1826 when an Englishman Alexander Hare established a settlement on the main atoll. The next year Captain John Clunies-Ross a Scottish seaman and former employee of Hare settled on another of the islands of the atoll. In 1857 Captain Fremantle of HMS Juno formally declared the Islands part of the British Dominions. In 1886 Queen Victoria granted all the Islands to John Clunies-Ross' grandson George and his heirs reserving powers to the Crown to resume land for public purposes and to conduct cable communications.
