Malden

Including both smaller islands isolated from the mainland, Malden covers an area of only 62 square kilometres.

Conditions on the island are a mixture of semi-arid, mountainous outcrops that define its overall landscape. Non-manmade foliage present on the island mostly consists of stubby trees and shrubbery with the occasional dense woodland consisting of cypress/pine trees.

The highest point on Malden is located at the peak of La Cime, which reaches a height of approximately 523 metres above sea level.
