From north to south, these are [[North Andaman]], [[Interview Island]], [[Middle Andaman]], [[Long Island, Andaman|Long Island]], [[Baratang Island]], [[South Andaman]], and [[Rutland Island]].<br />
<br />
==Geography==<br />
South, Middle and North islands are the largest of the entire island group. The islands' capital, [[Port Blair]], is located on [[South Andaman]].<br />
<br />
Great Andaman group is often considered the counterpart to [[Little Andaman Group]], another group of islands in the Andaman's.<br />
<br />
The Andaman islands consist of five groups:<br />
* Great Andaman <br />
* Little Andaman<br />
* [[Ritchie's Archipelago]]<br />
* [[East Volcano Islands]]<br />
<br />
Narrow creeks split Great Andaman into North Andaman, Middle Andaman, South Andaman and the other major islands. All of these islands are in the form of peaks of a submerged mountain chain. Each island has a central highland surrounded by bordering flat lands sloping in all directions and finally merged into coastal tracts.<br />
<br />
== Demographics ==<br />
According to the [[2011 census of India]], the archipelago had 315,530 inhabitants.<br />
