There are between 250 to 300 islands in the group according to different sources, with an aggregate area of 47 square kilometers (18 sq mi) and a height up to 207 metres (679 ft). They are a World Heritage Site since 2012.

This navy floatplane, an Aichi E13A1-1 or Jake type reconnaissance seaplane is one of the most intact wrecks in Micronesia, resting at 45 feet (15m). Beautiful scenario of a II WW Japanese seaplane sunken and a female scuba diver in Palau - Micronesia. The Jake could be found in many lagoons where the land mass did not support an airfield, but they also operated from cruisers and battleships. Two of the planes can be seen (in Palau) in very shallow waters in a cave of Babelthuap.
