The uninhabited territory, known to the Indians as New Moore Island and to the Bangladeshis as South Talpatti Island, never extended more than six feet (1.9 m) above sea level.
Asustamata saar, mida indialased nimetasid New Moore’i saareks ja Bangladeshi elanikud Lõuna - Talpattiks, ulatus kõigest 1,9 meetrit merepinnast kõrgemale.
