The Dominican Republic is located on the island of Hispaniola, part of the Greater Antilles archipelago. It is situated on the eastern part of Hispaniola, the second-largest island in the Greater Antilles. The western third of the island is occupied by Haiti, making Hispaniola one of two Caribbean islands that are shared by two countries.
There are many small offshore islands and cays that are part of the Dominican territory. To the north, at distances of 100 to 200 km (65 to 130 mi.), are three extensive, largely submerged banks, which geographically are a southeast continuation of the Bahamas: Navidad Bank, Silver Bank, and Mouchoir Bank. Navidad Bank and Silver Bank have been officially claimed by the Dominican Republic.
