A graphic showing the location of Kharg Island in the northwest of The Gulf about 25 kilometres off the coast of Iran. A satellite image shows the wholkhe island which is roughly eight kilometres long and four kilometres wide. Shadows indicate that the island has many rocky outcrops but the island has been heavily industrialised. There is an airport in the northeast that extends slightly into the sea and around it appears to be the main accommodation on the island. The oil terminal takes up most of the southern half of the island where more than fifty large, white circular structures are clearly visible. These are the oil containers and they are surrounded by other smaller industrial buildings. The south of the island is flanked by two jetties for oil tankers to dock when loading. In the middle of the island an area is labelled as being an air defence complex. Image credit: Reuters, Google.
