This island is featured in the book "Atlas of Remote Islands" by Judith Schalansky
I had made a companion "book" to it via the Wikipedia service:

Hi, great that you're taking an interest to get him a book on cartography. I've recently began doing the same, and books are definitely superior over wikipedia etc.
That's a great book. English link. I've enjoyed flipping through it but nearly all of the islands listed were inaccessible (except maybe with a yacht or special expedition). Good for daydreaming!
I highly recommend Judith Schalansky's Atlas of Remote Islands: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/014311820X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491902409&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=atlas+of+remote+islands

I recently came across it and picked it up, and I've been escaping into its pages every night, wishing I could just run away to one of those islands forever (or until I get bored; whichever comes first).
I believe all of the islands in the book are claimed, but there's a handful that are totally uninhabited, some of which are in not-too-harsh climates.
Lets start a reddit colony.
There's a beautiful little book about tiny random islands and their stories. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/014311820X
I just read a lot.
Here are some examples.

(some are accessible but this woman is too lazy to go to there. Others are off limits.)
There is this island in the Andamans which is deliberately kept off-limits, although I think if the need arises the natives will be wiped out within 24 hrs.

(the natives think they are keeping the outsiders off; in reality they will be human zoo animals to wealthy outsiders who feel like seeing them from the air)
You should all buy a copy of Atlas of Remote Islands.
