It is low-lying and largely barren, with some scattered grasses, and a few clumps of coconut palms (Cocos nucifera). Land elevations average 2 m (6.6 ft), though a small volcanic outcrop rising to 29 m (95 ft) on its south-east side is considerably higher and is referred to as 'Clipperton Rock'.[13] The surrounding reef is exposed at low tide.[14] The presence of this rock means that technically Clipperton is not an atoll but an island with a barrier reef.[citation needed]
