British Indian Ocean Territory Satellite Map
High Resolution Satellite Map of British Indian Ocean Territory
The British Indian Ocean Territory consists of the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, primarily used for military purposes by the United Kingdom and United States. The territory includes Diego Garcia, home to a joint UK-US military facility. The original Chagossian population was relocated in the 1960s-70s, creating ongoing legal and humanitarian disputes. The economy is based solely on military operations and support services. The territory has no indigenous population, only military personnel and civilian contractors. The islands feature pristine coral reefs, tropical ecosystems, and unique biodiversity. Environmental concerns include the impact of military activities on the fragile ecosystem. The territory's status remains controversial due to sovereignty disputes and the displacement of its original inhabitants.
