Agrihan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agrihan is the fourth independent island in the Northern Mariana Islands chain. The island was evacuated in 1990 due to the threat of volcanic activity, although in the end no eruption occurred. A settlement has since been reestablished in one of the four original villages, and as of September 2005 there were nine inhabitants. Five years earlier, in the 2000 census no population was reported. The island has a total land area of 7.31 km² (2.82 sq mi). Politically it is part of the Northern Islands Municipality.
