Salvation Islands

Salvation Islands
Map of Salvation Islands and their location.

The Salvation Islands (French: Îles du Salut, so called because the missionaries went there to escape plague on the mainland), sometimes mistakenly[citation needed] called the Safety Islands, are a group of small islands of volcanic[citation needed] origin about 11 kilometres (6 nautical miles) off the coast of French Guiana, 14 kilometres (7+12 nautical miles) north of Kourou, in the Atlantic Ocean. Although closer to Kourou, the islands are part of Cayenne commune (municipality), specifically Cayenne 1er Canton Nord-Ouest.
