They belong to the South Andaman administrative district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.[6] the island is lying {{convert|57|km|0|abbr=on}} south from Port Blair. HistoryBefore the British established a colony on the Andaman, the Sister islands were visited occasionally by the Onge people of Little Andaman Island for fishing. They may have been a waystation for their temporary settlement of Rutland Island between 1890 and 1930.[7] The islands have been a wildlife refuge since 1987, with 0.36 km2.[8] GeographyThe islands belong to the Rutland Archipelago and are located south of Passage Island (Andaman). The islands are located at the northern side of the Duncan Passage,[9] about 6 km southeast of Passage Island and 18 km north of North Brother. The group consists of:
The islands are 220 m apart, connected by a coral reef. They are covered by forests, and have rocky shores except for a beach on the NW side of East Sister. East Sister Island is 76m high and West Sister Island is 70.7m high. AdministrationPolitically, Sister Islands are part of Port Blair Taluk.[10] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://andssw1.and.nic.in/ecostat/basicstatPDF2013_14/1.Demogrpahy.pdf|title=Islandwise Area and Population - 2011 Census|publisher=Government of Andaman}} {{Portal|India}}2. ^{{cite enroute|173|2017|288}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.india-codes.com/pincodes/a-n-islands-pin-code |title=A&N Islands - Pincodes |date=22 September 2016 |accessdate=22 September 2016 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140323224041/http://www.india-codes.com/pincodes/a-n-islands-pin-code |archivedate=23 March 2014 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://allcodesindia.in/stdcode/andaman+and+nicobar.php |publisher=allcodesindia.in|title=STD Codes of Andaman and Nicobar|accessdate=2016-09-23}} 5. ^Registration Plate Numbers added to ISO Code 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-VillageDirectory/Directory/short_code_rural_35.pdf|title=Village Code Directory: Andaman & Nicobar Islands|publisher=Census of India|accessdate=2011-01-16}} 7. ^George Weber (~2009), The Tribes.
