Data

Île Fouquet is a small island amongst the Salomon Islands of the British Indian Ocean Territory. It is on the eastern part of the atoll or ring-reef which forms the Salomon Islands.

Like most of the smaller Chagos Islands, it is named in French, having been first charted by the French before the archipelago passed to British rule during the Napoleonic Wars.
