Pyramid Island

Template: Infobox Island / Maintenance / image missing

Pyramid Iceland is a small island belonging to Kenya in a fish-rich area of eastern Lake Victoria. The island got its name due to its pyramid-like shape, is uninhabited and has no mooring facilities for boats. It is 1.6 km and 1.8 km south of the islands of Migingo Usingo and, occasionally, these three islands are grouped together as the Migingo Islands.

While the state affiliation of the neighboring Migingo Island is disputed, the membership of Pyramid Iceland is unique because the Ugandan Constitution of 1955 mentions the island in the description of the boundary curve: the border is the eastern Kenya on its western tip, bringing the island itself belongs to Kenya. The small Pyramid Iceland is thus a kind of " demarcation " meaning in an international conflict over the disputed island of Migingo: Migingo lies west of Pyramid Iceland, it is one of Uganda, it lies to the east, it is one of Kenya

With a height of 1306 meters, the island rises steeply above the lake level 172 meters of Lake Victoria.
