Farquhar Group: Providence Atoll at the top, St. Pierre Island to the left and the Farquhar Atoll at the bottom

The group consists of two atolls and one separate island. In addition, there is one separate submerged reef in the area:

1. Farquhar Atoll (with two larger and about eight smaller islets)
2. Providence Atoll (with 2 islets, Providence Island and Cerf Island)
3. St. Pierre Island
4. Wizard Reef (submerged)

There are only two settlements. The main settlement is on Île du Nord (North Island) of Farquhar Atoll, and the other one on Providence Island of Providence Atoll.
