    Quick Overview:
    Named in 1643 for the day of its discovery, the island was annexed and settlement was begun by the UK in 1888. Phosphate mining began in the 1890s. The UK transferred sovereignty to Australia in 1958. The phosphate mine, closed in 1987, was reopened four years later, but the need for an alternative industry has spurred investment in tourism. Old mining areas are being restored, and almost two-thirds of the island has been declared a national park.

    General Information
    Location
    Geography and Climate
    The Island is the summit of a submarine mountain. It rises steeply to a central plateau dominated by stands of rainforest. The plateau reaches heights of up to 361 metres and consists mainly of limestone with layers of volcanic rock. The Island's 80 km coastline is an almost continuous sea cliff, ranging in height up to 20 metres. There are some thirteen places where breaks in the cliff give way to shallow bays and small sand and coral beaches. The largest of these bays forms the Island's port at Flying Fish Cove. The Island is surrounded by an encircling coral reef. There is virtually no coastal shelf and the sea plummets to a depth of about 5,000 metres within 200 metres of the shore.
    Time Difference
    One hour behind Western Standard Time (WST) and three hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST) i.e. 9.00 a.m. EST = 6.00 a.m. on the Island. Add one hour for daylight saving e.g. 9.00 a.m. EDT = 5.00 a.m. on Christmas Island.
