It is an outcrop of the Cape granite and rises no more than about six metres above the high tide mark. The island is long and narrow, 800 metre long and only 50 metre wide. There is no vegetation or soil of any significance. A radar mast was built on the island during World War II by a crew who lived on the island in prefabricated huts for the duration of the construction, but this was blown over in a winter storm in 1970 and all that remains of it is rusty, twisted metal. There are the ruins of a few huts and other structures from the sealing and guano-collection era (first half of the 20th century). Some rock inscriptions made by sealers in the 1930s are still evident.

The “Adventure Tour” consists of crawling through narrow passages and climbing up steep rock formations guided by small lights.
