The Virgin Islands are administered in two groups – the United States Virgin Islands (U.S.V.I.), administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior as an unincorporated territory, consisting of 3 larger islands: St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas, plus 50 smaller islets and cays [low banks or reefs of coral, rock, or sand]; and the British Virgin Islands (B.V.I.), a British colony of four larger islands to the north and east of the U.S. islands: Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Jost Van Dyke, plus 32 smaller islands and islets, of which more than 20 are uninhabited To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!
