Ross Island, located in the Port Blair Tehsil of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India, is a significant historical site. Once the administrative headquarters for the British in the Andaman Islands, the island now serves as a poignant reminder of colonial history. Visitors can explore remnants of British-era buildings such as the Chief Commissioner's house, a church, and a hospital, all of which are enveloped in lush greenery and inhabited by deer and peacocks. The island also features a small museum managed by the Indian Navy, which provides insights into its storied past.
