Lataro lies in Shark Bay off the eastern coast of Espiritu Santo and is flat.[5] The highest point of the island is 88 meters above the sea level. The island spans 1.9 km from the north to the south and 2.3 km from the east to the west.
The island has been leased by Anthony Welch since 2007 under a 75-year lease.[6]
In 2022, Welch announced that he had unofficially renamed the island Satoshi in honor of Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, and that the island would be turned into a home of bitcoin investors.[7][8]
