The island of Corva (Port. Ilha Do Corvo, literally the "island of Raven") the northernmost island of the #Azores archipelago, belongs to the western group of islands. It is the smallest of the nine islands of the archipelago.

The island is NOSKOSK (the highest point of Mount Morra-Dush-Khomensh, 718 m) and very picturesque-in the north there is an extensive volcanic Calder Kaldeyran about 300 meters deep and 2 km in diameter (in the center of the Calders there are two lakes with small islands in the middle).

In the west and north, it is surrounded by a series of rocky beds, which are part of the Calders of the ancient volcano, and the eastern part is occupied by green hills.
