Refimprove date April 2009 Samana Cay Also known as Atwood Cay is the largest now uninhabited island in the Bahamas , believed by some researchers to have been the location of Christopher Columbus Columbus s first landfall in the Americas, on October 12, 1492. It is an islet, located in the eastern Bahamas, 22 miles 35 km northeast of Acklins Island. About 10 miles 16 km long and up to 2 miles 3 km wide with an area of about 17.37 mi 45 km it is bound by reefs. The verdant cay has long been uninhabited, but figurines, pottery shards, and other artifacts discovered there in the mid 1980s have been ascribed to Lucayan Lucayan Indians living on the cay about the time of Christopher Columbus voyages. In October 1986 the National Geographic Society U.S. , announcing completion of a five year study, claimed that Samana Cay was the site of Columbus first landfall in the New World. The natives Lucayan Indians of the island on which Columbus first landed called it Guanahani . Samana Cay was first proposed to be Guanahani by Gustavus Fox in 1882, but the predominant theory for most of the 20th century gave the honor to San Salvador Island . However, in 1986 Joseph Judge of the National Geographic Society National Geographic magazine made new calculations based on Columbus s logs, and declared that Samana Cay was indeed the right location. Samana was a name of apparent Lucayan origin meaning Small Middle Forest used by the Spanish to designate one of the islands in the Bahamas.
