Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys. |
A boat from the killer fleet had struck the reef out past the skerries and was being pounded to pieces by the pelting waves. |
Smaller isles and skerries and other island groups pepper the North Atlantic surrounding the main islands. |
And indeed, for a man who has been much tumbled round orcadian skerries, what scene could be more agreeable to witness? |
Some are just mudflats, some just sandbanks, many are rocky outcrops and skerries known only to seals, albatrosses, and retired lighthouse-keepers. |
The project area includes the EU s largest freshwater archipelago with 22 000 islands, islets and skerries. |
