Citizen Government Non-Citizen Business The Republic of Mauritius Web Portal Symbols of Mauritius Geography Overview Location ... Photo Gallery The Mascareignes Archipel is made up of Mauritius, Reunion island and Rodrigues. It obtained its name after the navigator Pedro Mascarenhas who was one of the first Europeans to indicate its existence at the beginning of the 16th century. Of volcanic origin, these islands separated by sea pits of 4000 metres deep, have emerged from the abysses as a result of gigantic underwater volcanic eruptions that happened thousands of kilometres to the east of the continental block made up by Africa and Madagascar. Regarding the age of these different islands, it is known that Mauritius has started to emerge some 8 million years ago whereas Reunion emerged some 5 million years later. Even if the plateau under the lagoon surrounding Rodrigues may be much more ancient than the island, Rodrigues is only 1.5 million years old. Back to top Last Updated: 19 April, 2005
