Frederick Islands is an archipielago located in East Africa renowned for its native uninhabitance, fabulous beaches and fair year-round climate. The islands became home to many naturists and nudists from 1940, never claimed by any colonial power.
Geography
Except for some cases, most of the islands are volcanic, and part of the African Plate. However, volcanic activity haven't been recorded at least in the recent two centuries.
Climate
Frederick Islands feature a tropical savanna climate, with less than 100 millimetres (3.9 in) every month and a short dry period during June to August when it doesn't even rain a single drop.
