Large tracts of the surrounding coral reefs were exposed and became permanently dry land or shallow lagoons, extending the boundaries of the island all around — by as much as 1 km on the west and south sides — and uniting Constance Island with the main island.
Grandes extensiones de los arrecifes de coral que rodean fueron expuestos y se convirtieron en tierra permanentemente seca o lagunas poco profundas, ampliando los límites de la isla por todas partes alrededor de 1 km en el oeste y el sur, y uniendo a Constanza con la isla principal.
