Eil Malk or Mecherchar is the main island of the Mecherchar Islands, an island group of Palau in the Pacific Ocean. In a more narrow sense, just the southeastern peninsula of Mecherchar is called Eil Malk.[1]
Geography
[edit | edit source]Eil Malk is located 23 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of Koror near the fringing reef of Palau. The neighboring island is Ngeruktabel.
This densely wooded, Y-shaped island is up to 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) long and 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi) wide. There are more than 10 small lakes on the island, including Clear Lake and the most well-known, Jellyfish Lake, located in the eastern part of the island.[1]
Governance
[edit | edit source]Eil Malk is uninhabited, but there were at least one, and up to three, villages located there between 1200 and 1450.[1]
