SObDEN WITH SWAMPS and severed
by wide "bights," low-lying Andros, largest
of the BiLhama Islands, sprawls for a
hundred miles beside a deep Atlantic channel
that widens iota the Tongue of the Ocean
(pages 356-7). A sharp beak on the island's
soggy western side broadens the lump of
land to forty miles; 7,500 islanders live
along the drier eastern edge. Reefs near the
channel hold most of the blue holes, whose
unusually strong eurrents set them apart
from similar formations around the g/obe.
