The island is about 110 acres and, is also identified as the third largest island in the archipelago. Around 5 families have lived on the island about 300 years ago and, they were survived by fishing, hunting, and rising their cattle thanks to their environment. Historical evidence also states that during the 18th and 19th centuries this beautiful site was home to a handful of families.
But, in 1930 few remaining families move to the mainland to find a better life. Since then the island has been deserted, but still, hunters are using this island. This house was built by Ellidaey Hunters Association in the 19th century for their hunting purposes. There are no infrastructure facilities even electricity and water supply.
