The highest elevation is the Benera volcano (653m asl) and there are 159000 people living there.

These islands were already populated in the past by Arab traders. The first Europeans were the Portuguese in 16th century, English in 1595 but the French gained most influence over the island. In 1841 Sultan Andriantsouli traded the island against a yearly due of 5000 Franc and a French education of his sons. Since then Mayotte Island is administrated by France.

This island is home of the Ylang Ylang flower from which ethereal oils are extracted which are major ingredient to parfumes all over the world. Palm and coconut trees are mostly seen on the hills but they also grow sugar, coffee, vanilla and other spices.
