Geography edit
The Montemont Islands consists of two small low-lying islands. They lie on the southwestern edge of the barrier reef of Vanatinai. They are located 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) south-east of the Jomard Islands and immediately west of the Duchateau Islands. Of the two islands, Pana Boba in the east, at 10 hectares (25 acres), is the larger.
