Centurion Bank
Centurion Bank is a wholly submerged atoll structure in the south-west of the Chagos Archipelago in the British Indian Ocean Territory.
The bank is about almost six miles long north-west to south-east, and two miles wide. The reef area is about ten square miles.[1] The closest land is the islands of Egmont Atoll, located 76 miles to the north-north-east.
The Centurion Bank is the southernmost feature of the Chagos group and of the territory.
